Dartmouth
Tourist Information
'Dartmouth's narrow streets and ancient buildings bear witness to a long
if
not always glorious history, which saw the town develop from a
fishing port in the early middle ages to a base for smugglers and privateers.
The mild South Devon climate makes Dartmouth a year-round resort - often
with
excellent weather in February and March and golden
autumn days in October and November.' |
