Situated within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty,
Dartmouth is a popular tourist destination on the River Dart. As
Ginny Campbell's beautifully illustrated pages show, it has an
abundance of history. Its port was the sailing point for the
Crusades of 1147 and 1190, and the Pilgrim Fathers visited in 1620
to repair the Speedwell. The area boasts many picturesque medieval
and Elizabethan buildings, including the Butterwalk, where Charles
II once dined, and Dartmouth Castle, which has guarded the mouth of
the river for over 600 years. The admiralty began officer training
on the river in 1863 and, in June 1944, 485 ships departed from the
river carrying American servicemen to Utah Beach for D-Day.
