A lovely family day out. Get the steam train from Kingswear which is across the river. It's a lovely train journey. Plenty to do for all the family including a lake with supersized floats in there. A good old fashioned day out.

Around a 20 minute drive from Dartmouth, Torcross is a wonderful village. The place is so quaint and for historians this is the place where they practised the D-Day Landings. There's a memorial there. Some nice places to eat too, right on the front where you can eat whilst taking in breathtaking views.

This is lovely quirky pub where the outside seating is in tiers overlooking the most wonderful bay. On a sunny day you'd think you were in Italy or Majorca. Worth the drive, around 45 minutes drive

Burgh Island is a famous upmarket hotel, which many a famous person has stayed or visited over the year. If the tide is out you can walk across the beach to get to it, but if the tide is in, you have to take the sea tractor. Afternoon tea is fabulous but not cheap.

Must do pubs

Recently under new ownership and fully renovated (2023), the Steam Packet Inn is a lovely cosy pub for winter or summer. The staff are very welcoming and the pizzas superb. A new outdoor terrace is due to be completed by May 2023 and a full restaurant menu should be up and running by then too.

Taylors has been family owned for many years and a must visit place when visiting Dartmouth. You need to book well in advance to avoid disappointment. If you can try and book the table in the bay window which overlooks the river. Lovely menu and the food is always of the highest quality.

If you love fish, you'll love The Seahorse. Owned by celebrity chef Mitch Tonks (who also owns The Rockfish chain), The Seahorse is a beautiful restaurant for lovely food. They serve a cheaper fixed price lunchtime menu which is good value, but if you want to really treat yourself, then dinner is lovely here.

A wonderful outdoor eatery with superb menu, predominantly fish choices. You can get there via the Dittisham Water Taxi which you need to pre-book. The Anchorstone is very popular so early booking is a must.
