A town seeped in history, Dartmouth is located within the enchanting South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Once a strategic deep-water port for sailing vessels, today Dartmouth offers a blend of fascinating history and spectacular scenery. Its tumultuous past trickles down from medieval privateering, the Hundred Years' War to being an important base during World War II.

From its earliest recorded street, Smith Street, dating back to the 13th century, to the arrival of the Dartmouth and Torbay Railway in Kingswear in 1864, every street and house in Dartmouth has a story to share. Despite the devastating fire that damaged several historical properties in 2010, Dartmouth's charm remains undimmed, with its narrow lanes, and stunning water views echoing the tales of the past.
