Our Devon holiday lets are situated in Norton Park and is an attractive site close to Dartmouth town with views over the surrounding countryside and the river Dart. Light, open and spacious, there is plenty of outdoor space for games or sitting quietly in the sunshine. Ideally situated for exploring the South Hams Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Norton Park is also close to the town of Dartmouth with its shops and restaurants, and the famous naval college.

Take a boat trip from Dartmouth up the river to visit Agatha Christie’s holiday home at Greenway (National Trust) or take the ferry across to Kingswear for a steam train ride to Paignton. At the mouth of the river stands Dartmouth Castle (English Heritage) offering a fascinating trip back in time. Enjoy the views out to sea over a coffee and a slice of cake from the neighbouring café and then stride out on the coast path for stunning coastal scenery and access to some quiet rocky coves. Further afield is the sandy cove of Blackpool Sands with plenty of parking and amenities, and Slapton Sands where WW2 troops trained in preparation for the D-Day landings. No car? No problem – the Totnes to Dartmouth bus stops at Norton Park, and the Dartmouth to Plymouth bus takes the scenic route past Blackpool Sands and Slapton, and stopping at many other points of interest on its way to Plymouth. With the steam train and the boats from Dartmouth, this area really can be explored without a car.
