Surely no visit to the south-west of England would ever be complete without calling in at Dartmouth...


Whether you visit for the 16 miles of navigable river, the excellent restaurants and pubs, the lovely country and seaside walks or during the world famous regatta. We know you'll be delighted with what this wonderfully safe haven can offer.

The area has a great historical background, and the Brittania Royal Naval College is well known.

The Steam Railway has its station close to the marina, and is a popular attraction.


To give an impression of this beautiful area we asked International Landscape Photographer Paul Prestige to take some dramatic images for us to display - we do hope you like them. Paul is well known in the South-West area for his colour pictures that appear regularly in the "Morning View" feature of the Western Morning News. To date over 100 examples of his work have been produced in this way. Please click on the thumbnail pictures below to view the images in 800 x 600 format.
