Dartmouth Estuary contains one of Britain’s most sheltered and beautiful natural deepwater harbours. 
Approaching from the sea there is a narrow river mouth overlooked by a 15th century
castle and framed by woodlands and coves.

Up river the estuary meanders past Greenway, previously the home and estate of Agatha Christie and now
owned by the National Trust, and charming villages such as Dittisham, (close to where the boats will  be moored)
and the beautiful vineyards of Sharpham (you must try their 2006 barrel fermented white)
and is navigable as far as the characterful  town of Totnes.

The surrounding area of the South Hams has justifiably been claimed to be one of Britain’s most beautiful places,
offering lush green countryside as well as spectacular coastline.  From the bright lights of the English Riviera
the attractions include superb beaches such as Slapton Sands and Thurlestone and
intriguing towns like Kingsbridge and Salcombe - all just a short drive away.

Fine food is at its best throughout the South Hams with an abundance of celebrated restaurants and gastro pubs such as the award winning Rose & Crown at Yealmpton, and The Oyster Shack at Bigbury and now at Salcombe too.
