- Join us for a walk around Dartmouth, Devon, England. Our walk starts at Dartmouth Harbour with views over the River Dart to Kingswear. We explore Dartmouth town centre and Bayard's Cove Fort.
**********************************************************************************************
Dartmouth is a town and civil parish in the English county of Devon. It is a tourist destination set on the western bank of the estuary of the River Dart. It lies within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and had a population of 5,064 at the 2011 census.
The narrow mouth of the Dart is protected by two fortified castles, Dartmouth Castle and Kingswear Castle. The castles once operated a defensive chain across the estuary, which was raised at dusk to block enemy ships attempting to attack the harbour. The remains of the operating mechanisms for the chain are still visible in Dartmouth Castle.
Bayard's Cove Fort is a small Tudor fort, which was built to defend the harbour's entrance. Built by the borough of Dartmouth between 1522 and 1536, it contained heavy guns to protect the prosperous harbour town from attack. It was the last line of defence against enemy ships that had eluded Dartmouth and Kingswear castles. Occupying a terrace cut from the rocky river bank, Bayard’s Cove Fort is picturesquely sited at the entrance to Dartmouth harbour.
Dartmouth sent numerous ships to join the English fleet that attacked the Spanish Armada. The Nuestra Señora del Rosario, the Spanish Armada's "payship" commanded by Admiral Pedro de Valdés, was captured along with all its crew by Sir Francis Drake. It was reportedly anchored in the River Dart for more than a year and the crew were used as labourers on the nearby Greenway Estate which was the home of Sir Humphrey Gilbert and his half-brother Sir Walter Raleigh. Greenway was later the home of Dame Agatha Christie.
In 1620 the Pilgrim Fathers, bound for America, berthed the Mayflower and Speedwell ships at Bayard's Cove for repairs. They rested a while before setting off on their journey in the Mayflower and the Speedwell on 20 August 1620. About 300 miles west of Land's End, upon realising that the Speedwell was unseaworthy, it returned to Plymouth. The Mayflower departed alone to complete the crossing to Cape Cod. Dartmouth is one of twelve towns taking part in the National Mayflower Partnership. A series of events commemorating the 400-year anniversary of the sailing of the Mayflower to the New World.
The earliest street in Dartmouth to be recorded by name (in the 13th century) is Smith Street. Several of the houses on the street are originally late 16th century or early 17th century and probably rebuilt on the site of earlier medieval dwellings.
The town contains many medieval and Elizabethan streetscapes and is a patchwork of narrow lanes and stone stairways. A significant number of the historic buildings are listed. One of the most obvious is the Butterwalk, built 1635 to 1640. Its intricately carved wooden fascia is supported on granite columns. Charles II held court in the Butterwalk whilst sheltering from storms in 1671 in a room which now forms part of Dartmouth Museum. Much of the interior survives from that time.
The Royal Castle Hotel was built in 1639 on the then new quay. The building was re-fronted in the 19th century, and as the new frontage is itself listed, it is not possible to see the original which lies beneath. A claimant for the oldest building is a former merchant's house in Higher Street, now a Good Beer Guide listed public house called the Cherub, built circa 1380. Agincourt House (next to the Lower Ferry) is also 14th century.
The town is home to the Royal Navy's officer training college (Britannia Royal Naval College), where all officers of the Royal Navy and many foreign naval officers are trained.
Dartmouth Royal Regatta takes place annually over three days at the end of August. The event sees the traditional regatta boat races along with markets, fun fairs, community games, musical performances, air displays including the Red Arrows and fireworks. A Royal Navy guard ship is often present at the event.
Notable tourist attractions include the Dartmouth Steam Railway which terminates at Kingswear on the opposite bank of the river.
Boat cruises to nearby places along the coast (such as Torbay and Start Bay) and up the river (to Totnes, Dittisham and the Greenway Estate) are provided by several companies. The paddlesteamer PS Kingswear Castle returned to the town in 2013. The South West Coast Path passes through the town, and also through extensive National Trust coastal properties at Little Dartmouth and Brownstone (Kingswear). The Dart Valley Trail starts in Dartmouth, with routes either side of the River Dart as far as Dittisham, and continuing to Totnes via Cornworthy, Tuckenhay and Ashprington. The area has long been well regarded for yachting, and there are extensive marinas at Sandquay, Kingswear and Noss.

It was great that you walked down those little side alleys in the town center, it gave one a real sense of what the area is like. I couldn't help but spot the Bookies, lol. What an amazing looking place Bayard's Cove Fort is as well, that is an incredible structure that is so well preserved.
Thanks Richard. Yes i love exploring the side streets. Bayard's Cove Fort was really interesting place to see. Dartmouth has a fascinating history. It's a great place to explore. I would like to visit Dartmouth Castle too. Maybe next year.
Nice cool walk and enjoyed the quietness and the noise of the seagulls.

Lovely video of a lovely town. Perhaps you could do a follow up and include Browns Steps when it’s the In Bloom competition, Fosse Street and the oldest pub The Cherub which is up some steps that you walked past. The walk out to the castle past Warfleet is also beautiful. Loved that there was no soundtrack or uninformative commentary. Keep walking!
Thank you so much for watching and leaving some great suggestions, I will add them to my list. Glad you enjoyed the video :)
Beautiful video! Well done!
Thank you so much! 🤗💕
