Advantages: shops, boat trips

Disadvantages: parking in the town

We have visited dartmouth twice once arriving by train and once arriving by boat. This place is one of my mums favourite places.

Parking in dartmouth can be a nightmare and hard to find so it may be best to find an alternative way of arriving to dartmouth.

There are plenty of boats in the harbour many of these offer boat trip to places such as totnes and dartmouth castle.

There are plenty of indvidual shops in dartmouth that sell a range of different things.

While on our visit we tried out one of the local fish and chip shops. There was a big queue in the chippy and while not cheap the fish especially is good. There is a wide choice available. Near to this chippy is small park which over looks the river dart and is an ideal place to eat your fish and chips. Beware of hunngry seagull though!

Also two places to visit are dartmouth castle and the royal naval college although we didnt have time to visit either attraction. I'm not sure how you visit the naval college as it may have be booked in advanced and you need some photo id. The castle is located on the mouth of the river dart.

There may be many other things in dartmouth worth mentioning but we only had two hours stop over time as we were doing the round robin trip (train, boat -bus) which was excellent.

Summary: stop here when on the round robin
