Continue onto the coastal path for more walks – why not walk to the award winning blue flag beach at Blackpool sands and catch the bus back to Dartmouth afterwards.
Board the passenger ferry and visit the nearby village of Kingswear, where you can ride on a steam train to visit the town of Paignton or walk the glorious South West Coast Path to the idyllic harbour town of Brixham.
Further inland, the vibrant grounds of Fast Rabbit Farm Gardens provide an enchanting place to enjoy an afternoon stroll, local National Trust houses and gardens provide something for all the family, whilst those looking for a spot of adventure may prefer a visit to Woodlands Family Theme Park.
With all of this and more, choose Harbour Heights as a base that you'll be delighted to return to.
Dartmouth lies on the banks of the beautiful River Dart in the popular and picturesque South Hams area of South Devon. Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the stunning Start Bay coastline, Dartmouth is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Devon. It offers a stunning waterfront, ancient narrow streets lined with boutique shops, restaurants and art galleries plus many popular events such as the annual Dart Music Festival, Dartmouth Food Festival and the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta. This historic town boasts interesting landmarks, such as Dartmouth Castle, the Britannia Royal Naval College, and the National Trust's Greenway House just a short ferry ride away. There are many interesting cycling and walking routes around Dartmouth, including the South West Coast Path, the Dart Valley Trail and plenty of quiet country lanes. A trip on the Dartmouth Steam Railway through the rolling countryside to Paignton is a must, and so is a boat or ferry trip across to Kingswear, on to Brixham, or down the river to the village of Dittisham. For those seeking sandy beaches, there is a wide choice in the South Hams area such as Blackpool Sands and Slapton Sands, both extremely popular beaches just a stone's throw from Dartmouth.
