The Market There are two market days in Dartmouth on Tuesdays and Fridays. The building dates from the end of the 1820's and is on land reclaimed from the old Mill Pool. The stalls offer tremendous variety and it's a great place to find a bargain.

See the special display page HERE.

The Butterwalk - shade from the sun shelter from the rain! Now more than 360 years old, but still as functional as ever. There are some wonderful plaster ceilings here and the pillars are always decked with flowers during the summer months.

Foss Street A delightful pedestrianised street dating from the 13th Century. It was built as a dam to hold the Mill Pool. As the water ran out it drove two mill wheels. If you stand about halfway along Foss Street and look towards St Saviour's Church, it's still almost possible to imagine how things might have looked.

Browns Hill - this was once the main road into Dartmouth! Today it is typical of the many small streets ablaze with colour during the summer months and well worth exploring.

Dartmouth Castle Strictly speaking, two castles. The Medieval fortress dates back 600 years while the more recent building was still in use during the Second World War. English Heritage cares for this historic site and you can find out more on 01803 833588.
