Dartmouth Castle guarded the narrow entrance to the busy port of Dartmouth for more than 600 years.
Imaginative installations trace the castle’s story right up to the Second World War. Look out for the audio and light display showing a crew preparing to fire a heavy gun. Families can get hands-on with the weapons used to defend the fortress, and young history hunters can follow an activity trail throughout the castle.
Take the scenic boat trip to the castle (weather dependent) from the town quay. The best views of the castle are from the water, so have your camera ready.
