In and around Dartmouth UK

Dartmouth is an ancient port that nestles on the banks of the River Dart. This naturally deep harbour was ideal for trading and many large and important ships visited and unloaded their goods here. Today Dartmouth is known for sailing, many beautiful yachts and motor boats of all sizes are moored up and down the river adding to the picturesque quality of the estuary. 
Dart Estuary  welcomes many super yachts and cruise ships into the safe haven of it's waters. How many places can you live where your view can so dramatically changed? 




We live on the banks of the river and are lucky to be in a position to capture activity, events and weather. Since living in this beautiful part of the UK I have come to appreciate more and more the wonderful light qualities of the South West. The South Hams is recorded as having the most sunshine in the UK creating regions (facing sw) with a similar climate to the mediterranean which explains why some gardens host very exotic plants.  In Kingswear, across the river from Dartmouth, we enjoy one of the mildest year round climates in the UK ... so spring arrives early, summer is long, autumn can be very warm and mellow and winters short.


Discover Dartmouth.com illustrates why this town is a 'town for all seasons'. Ideal for residents who are charmed by it's magic dust all year round, for tourists it is a wonderful place to be, come rain or shine, so during those seasons that challenge our thoughts where to go for a UK break, Dartmouth is ideal.


Here in the South Hams there are more artists per square mile than anywhere else in the UK. We are awash with galleries which exhibit the best that Devon has to offer. One of my favourites is D'Art Gallery | Artists, Exhibitions, Framing
