One of the most picturesquely-sited fortresses in England. For over 600 years Dartmouth Castle has guarded the narrow entrance to the Dart Estuary and the busy, vibrant port of Dartmouth.
Castle Rd (at Dartmouth Castle) Dartmouth Devon TQ6 0JN United Kingdom
Stunningly picturesque fortress guarding the narrow entrance to the Dart estuary. Run by English heritage.
The castle is actually an old artillery fort. Museum is worth visiting if you like to learn about cannons and defence of the river dart region.
Can be done by foot. From Dartmouth, go up the stairs at the Bayard's Cove Inn (lower ferry ), turn left twice and follow the road . Walks towards castle can be done by following upper and lower paths.
Several trails leaving from here. Bring good shoes .
