Discover secrets

Dartmouth really is a town full of surprises, hidden gems that make exploring so interesting. Whether walking the narrow streets or sailing on the river, there is so much to look out for. The beautiful mermaid, Miranda, keeps watch over the harbour, and is a magical sight if you catch the ferry to Dartmouth Castle.

The Old Market

Tucked down the back streets of Dartmouth, the Old Market is a listed courtyard building with a range of independent eateries and shops.

Foss Street

This picture postcard street is full of independent galleries, boutiques and bookshops and a must for instagram stories.

 

Smith Street

The oldest recorded street in town, Smith Street was part of the medieval centre of Dartmouth. Take time to absorb all that history around you.

Intricate Artistry

Dartmouth is a place that encourages you to slow down, so that you can take in all the views around you. Take in the brightly coloured designs adorning many of the older buildings, such as the coats of arms relating to previous town residents.

Hidden Gems

A walk in Dartmouth is never wasted, just make sure to keep an eye out as you never know what you might see. For instance St Petrox is home to a gravestone with a skull and cross bones detail – have fun exploring.

Only in Dartmouth

Dartmouth is so much more than a beautiful town. Hidden around Dartmouth are hints of the stories to be told, and the surprising facts that only Dartmouth can boast. Have fun exploring.
