Dartmouth lies on the banks of the River Dart estuary in the South Hams area of South Devon. Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the coast, Dartmouth is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Devon, with a picturesque waterfront, ancient narrow streets lined with boutique shops, restaurants and art galleries, plus many local events such as the annual Dart Music Festival and the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta. There are many wonderful cycling and walking routes around Dartmouth, including the South West Coast Path, the Dart Valley Trail and plenty of quiet country lanes.
