In times gone by, prosperity in Dartmouth centred around the trade brought in by shipping. The river was alive with fishing vessels, shipbuilding and most importantly merchant ships bringing luxurious goods such as wine and tobacco into the vibrant port. Bayards Cove Fort was built in the early 1500s to protect the illustrious quay from invaders, the quay itself dates back to 1665. The Mayflower and Speedwell resided here before starting their famed journey across the ocean to the new world of America. Its position at the narrowest point of the river also served well during the World Wars, where the area was heavily utilised for water-based campaigns.

Beach lovers will be unable to resist the pretty coves and the glorious dog and family-friendly coastline, which is a world-class attraction in its own right. Those with a romantic frame of mind will also be happy to know that Dartmoor is within easy reach of the town. The nearest educational institution is the Ofsted-rated 'Good' Dartmouth Academy, which is both a primary and secondary school. Across the water, Churston Ferrers Grammar School provides 11 to 18-year-olds with an outstanding education.
