Dartmouth is the Jewel of the South Hams, with ancient winding streets, rows of pastel coloured houses, a selection of fine art galleries and boutique shops & local markets perfect for exploring by foot. Water taxis ferry to and from Kingswear, and private boats and larger vessels provide wonderful river cruises and trips upstream towards Totnes, Dittasham & Greenway. There is also the lovely and familiar sound of the old steam train making its summer journey from Kingswear to Paignton and the English Riviera. A double decker bus runs along the coast line to Kingsbridge & Plymouth or to the vibrant market town of Totnes, 1 day & week explorer passes can be purchased. For more 'off the beaten path' beaches & walks a car is an advantage.
