Location
Dartmouth is widely recognised as one of South Devon’s most attractive and sought-after harbour towns, situated on the western bank of the River Dart estuary within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The town is famed for its picturesque waterfront, historic architecture and vibrant food and hospitality scene, making it a popular destination for both tourists and second-home owners.
The River Dart itself is one of the most scenic estuaries in the country and forms the focal point of the town, supporting a thriving sailing community as well as numerous water-based activities. Dartmouth is also home to the world-renowned Britannia Royal Naval College, which sits prominently overlooking the river and provides a steady stream of visitors throughout the year.
The town attracts substantial tourism, particularly during the spring and summer months, boosted by popular events such as the Dartmouth Food Festival and the Dartmouth Royal Regatta, both of which draw significant national and international visitors.
Despite its coastal setting, Dartmouth remains easily accessible, located approximately 33 miles south of Exeter and around 30 miles east of Plymouth. The town is also conveniently positioned within reach of Exeter Airport, which offers both domestic and international connections.
During the summer season the population of the town swells considerably, as holidaymakers, yachting enthusiasts and day visitors descend on the estuary, creating a vibrant and highly lucrative trading environment for well-positioned hospitality businesses such as The Floating Bridge.
