Dartmouth Castle
April 7th, 2008The most striking feature of Dartmouth Castle is that it stands tall right on the banks of the Dart Estuary - a stunning waterside setting. Dartmouth Castle was initially built in the 14th Century, but underwent substantial works in the 15th Century when Henry VIII had it redesigned to be able to better fit his weaponry. Close to Dartmouth Castle is Kingswear Castle and St Petroc’s Church. Given the beautiful setting (right at the mouth of the Dart Estuary), Dartmouth Castle is well worth a visit - not just to marvel at the history but to enjoy the awesome scenery and perhaps enjoy a picnic.
