Dartmouth Attractions
The stretch of coast extending south form Brixham as far as Start Point is of great interest and beauty. By crossing the River Dart and continuing via Kingswear (ferry) the popular tourist town of Dartmouth (pop. 6,000) is reached. The pleasant little town has romantic twisty alleyways and picturesque rows of houses around the inner harbor.
Darthmouth - Butterwalk Museum
Most impressive in Dartmouth are the half-timbered buildings in the Butterwalk (1635-1640), an arcade with graceful sculptures and home to the town museum.
Britannia Royal Naval College
Of Dartmouth's former importance as a marine port - ships sailed from here in 1190 for the crusades, in 1347 for the siege of Calais and in 1588 to fight against the Spanish Armada - only the Britannia Royal Naval College bears testimony. Opened in 1905 and situated high above the town, it can count all male members of the Royal Family among its graduates.
