Worth a visit, even if only for an ice cream or coffee! We like to park here and get the little ferry to Dartmouth.

Dartmouth Castle Artillery Fort Dartmouth Castle is an English Heritage site an artillery fort, built to protect Dartmouth harbour in Devon, England. The earliest parts of the castle date from the 1380s, when, in response to the threat of a French attack, the civic authorities created a small enclosure castle overlooking the mouth of the Dart estuary. This was intended to engage enemy ships with catapults and possibly early cannon, and incorporated the local chapel of Saint Petroc within its walls. At the end of the 15th century, the castle was expanded with an artillery tower and an iron chain which could be stretched across the harbour to a tower at Godmerock; this addition formed the oldest known purpose-built coast artillery fort in Britain. Further gun batteries were added during the French invasion scare of the 1540s.

Take the National Trust path over Gallants Bower to reach the castle or enjoy the more gentle Castle Road. From here the SW Coastal Path will take you to the village of Stoke Flemming with great views over Start Bay.

Historic castle owned by English Heritage. Built to protect Dartmouth Harbour against marauding pirates and nations. Tour the castle, admire the views out to sea and then enjoy a snack or coffee at the adjacent Castle Tearooms. There is a small car park but you will enjoy the walk more. Takes around 20 mins from the town centre.
