Kayaking or Paddleboarding on the River Dart

The River Dart is one of the first places on your must-visit list. This river originates in Dartmouth and flows through an extraordinarily beautiful countryside with a unique view of the town and its surroundings. You’ll be able to get to know the town better and see what is “hidden” behind the stone buildings and the noise of the town. An ideal place for privacy with nature and a good way to relax and feel the tranquility emanating from the water.

Depending on the activity of your vacation, you can go kayaking or get on the water using SUP, slowly exploring the surrounding area.

Remember that Dartmouth is too good not to share impressions with friends or family. Share photos/videos from your unforgettable vacation to get a bunch of enthusiastic comments and likes.

Wildlife Watching Along Slapton Ley Nature Reserve

“A natural freshwater lake separated by a thin pebble strip from the sea” – could you imagine what nature could actually create? As amazing as it is, you can really see it with your own eyes at Dartmouth. Slapton Ley Nature Reserve is not only a stunningly beautiful place, but also home to many species of birds, including swans, plants and other wildlife representatives.

In this reserve you can get to know the flora and fauna of the area, observe the life of animals and just take a leisurely walk along the freshwater lake. Don’t forget to bring binoculars with you to make the adventure even more exciting.

Historical Adventures at Dartmouth Castle 

Discover the historic part of Dartmouth by visiting one of the most beautiful castles in England. This historical value is of crucial importance to the historical society, and it will definitely be interesting for those who like to combine outdoor walks with history.

It is here that you will learn about the maritime heritage of the city and the key characters of Dartmouth. After a walk through the castle, stroll along the picturesque coastal paths and relax, merging with the surrounding nature. This is a great option for an eventful but relaxing weekend.

Try Crabbing

Dartmouth is one of those few places where you can practice crabbing literally on the embankment! Yes, it’s amazing, but in almost every store you can buy a fishing line, bucket, bait and go crabbing. This is an exciting activity not only for children, but also for adults. If you are travelling with your family, arrange competitions and count who will catch the most crabs – this is a very fun activity!

Explore Scenic Coastal Trails

Finally, catch the opportunity to see with your own eyes an amazing panoramic view of the rocky cliffs and incredible beaches. Take a walk along the Southwestern Coastal Trail and enjoy the incredible beauty of these places. For a more leisurely walk, take the route from Dartmouth to Little Dartmouth, which is ideal for families and beginners.
