Dartmouth is a picturesque and busting harbour town on the famous Dart Estuary. It is full of interesting shops and many eating places, from the 'Angel' Restaurant for haute cuisine, to fish & chips outlets. It is a place frequented by the sailing fraternity, with many boating facilities. The Britannia Royal Naval College (the training establishment for officers) stands on a hill overlooking the town, so there is also a Royal Navy presence which is mainly evidenced by visiting warships and the College's distinctive black & white 'picket boats'. Often you will see a big cruise ship moored mid-river. The opposite side of the river from Dartmouth (accessible by ferry) is Kingswear, where the Dartmouth Steam Railway has a terminus. There are frequent steam trains to Paignton from April to the end of October. You can also take one of the many river trips accessible from the town, from a small ferry-boat running to the Castle, to a big motor vessel or steamer running (tides permitting) up the river to Totnes.

Dittisham is one of the most beautiful sailing areas anywhere in the United Kingdom. The village, some six miles from Crabadon Manor, nestles amongst trees by the River Dart, where boating is a very popular activity. Dittisham is perfect for dinghy sailing or kayaking, and there are some launching spots. Right by the river is the Ferry Boat Inn, near which a passenger ferry runs across the river near to where there is a halt on the railway, and Greenway House. It is advisable to park on the 'Ham' rather than try to drive down to the Inn, as there is very limited access for cars. If you park on the 'Ham', you can either walk along the beach to the ferry and jetties, or (at high tide) take a slightly higher footpath.
