Sea Glass Cabin Dartmouth guidebook
Sightseeing
Whether you are planning to use Torcross as a starting point for a walk or a destination point there is something here for everyone. The drive from Dartmouth is spectacular, passing Blackpool Sands, Strete Gate & the amazing 3 mile stretch across Slapton Lee to Torcoss. The area has a facinating history connected to WW2. On the Ley side you can get close to the abundant wild life. The Start Bay Inn, Boat House & Sea Breeze Cafe are all popular food stops. One of our favorite walks is heading up from Totnes for the short walk to Beesands where you have Brittania on The Beach or The Cricket Inn, both with excellent food options.

Around early May we try & encourage as many guests as we can to walk up to Gallants Bower & see the gorgeous carpet of bluebells surrounded by 360 degree views. Whether you walk up there & maybe get the Castle ferry back or drive & park on the higher road above the Castle, there are dozens of variations of how to approach it. It is lovely all year round but spectacular in May! When you park on the higher road above the Castle, you will see a pathway with the Gallants Bower sign above. Follow the pathway which snakes through the woods & it will eventually bring you to a 5 bar gate. Look for the highest point & walk around the circle of the footprint of the old fort. You can go right through to the far side & down a different slope onto Castle Road & walk a circular back to the Castle. This point on Castle Road is also the start of some fabulous walks to Little Dartmouth on the South West Coast Path or links to the Jubilee Way. When back to the higher road, directly above the Castle, (where you will see the 'Explore Dartmouth Castle Estate' sign above), there is another lane that takes you down to Sugary Cove walking past Sugary Green. After all this why not treat yourself to a full Devon cream Tea or an ice cream. It doesn't get any better than The Castle Tea Room, especially on a sunny day with an outside table at the side looking out to sea.

Start Point Light House - Mattiscombe Beach Circular Walk is most definitely one of our favourite walks & suits most abilities & levels of agility. If 2.2 miles is not enough for you, we can very much recommend going a little further Westerly along the coastal path towards Lannacombe. We have nearly always spotted seals which is always a highlight. We cannot tie in any foody stops on this walk, so a good idea to take a bottle of water & snack or picnic for a little down time on beautiful Mattiscombe Sands, weather permitting. Don't forget there is also Start Point Light House which is a visitor attraction. http://startpointdevon.co.uk/ The car park £3.50, free between start of November - start of April. The description below is walking in a clockwise direction, towards the lighthouse on this circular, but it is just as lovely to go in the other direction & head straight from the car park to Mattiscombe beach. Start Point Car Park - TQ7 2ET Start Point Car Park Moderate - The first section of this walk is a steady descent down the old lighthouse road to the headland, and so is suitable for many mobility scooters, and push chairs. After leaving the lighthouse road the Coast Path through to Mattiscombe Sand becomes more challenging and uneven, and care needs to be taken. The return leg is a gentle climb up a green lane back to the car park. A perfect route for children, who will love this short but adventurous walk over a dragon's tail of spiny crags. There are wide-ranging views over the wide sweep of Start Bay as you drop down to the lighthouse at the tip of Start Point, and then the path travels over rock and coastal heathland to a secluded sandy beach, reached only on foot from the Coast Path. On a good day, it is the perfect place for a picnic. The narrow path is rocky and exposed in places, so give it a miss if the weather is bad.

Start Point to Beesands via the Lost Village of Hallsands. Reach Beesands either by walking from Start Point Light House Car Park or from Torcross. You can drive directly to Beesands but the short walk from either of these start points is spectacular. Great eating options at Beesands at the Cricket Inn or Britannia on the Beach. Take in some fascinating history on the way by visiting the outdoor display that explains the history of the lost village of Hallsands.

Agatha Christie’s unmissable Devon home run by the National Trust https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/greenway. Overlooking some of the most stunning views of the river Dart stands the home of Agatha Christie – the world’s Queen of Crime. There is certainly no better, easier or more popular way to arrive than by river boat along the beautiful river Dart – the 30 minute exclusive cruise departing Dartmouth and operated for the National Trust starts the day in a most beautiful way as we set sail up the majestic river, passing some of the most picturesque scenery Devon has to offer, aboard the aptly named twin decked passenger vessel Christie Belle with licensed bar and restroom facilities or our new vessel Hercule. Sit back and relax as our knowledgeable captain gives you a glimpse into the history and sights with his commentary of the river Dart in his Devonian accent – a passenger highlight. Passing Sir Walter Raleigh’s boathouse on route and viewing the Greenway Estate from the river gives you a splendid perspective of where you are about to visit before arriving by boat directly to Greenway Quay – a private quay on the river. The waterborne entrance to Greenway all adds to the occasion and the Greenway experience. Walking in the footsteps of Poirot himself when landing at Greenway Quay the film location of ‘Dead Mans Folly’ you’ll be astounded by the beauty of the area with unrestricted views of Dittisham village and up river towards Totnes. Greenway Quay is an ideal spot for a cup of tea, ice cream or little treat where you can relax and enjoy the view by the water. The ferry returns every hour from where you disembarked. Best reached by ferry:- https://www.greenwayferry.co.uk/dartmouth-to-greenway-house/ You can hop across to Dittisham very easily. 2 great eating options, The Anchor Stone https://anchorstonecafe.co.uk/ (booking advisable) & The Ferry Boat Inn. For walkers, there is an approx 9 mile total walk to Dittisham (cross country), across on the ferry to Greenway & walk back from Greenway to Kingswear Higher Ferry, or visa versa or 1 leg of this & get the ferry the other way!

https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/coleton-fishacre Coleton Fishacre is a property consisting of a 24-acre (97,000 m2) garden and a house in the Arts and Crafts style, near Kingswear in Devon, England. The property has been in the ownership of the National Trust since 1982. The house at Coleton Fishacre was built as a country home for Rupert D'Oyly Carte and his wife, Lady Dorothy Carte, between 1923 and 1926.The architect was Oswald Milne, a former assistant to Edwin Lutyens, who designed the house with the principles of the Arts and Crafts Movement in mind: simplicity of design and quality of craftsmanship. The influence of this older movement notwithstanding, the house is influenced by its own time, especially in its Art Deco interior.The structure is built of local slate rubble with a Delabole slate roof. The design has been twice featured in Country Life magazine: 31 May 1930 and 25 October 2007, the latter of which shows full colour photos of the house (exterior and interior) and the gardens. The property runs down to the sea, where there are some outbuildings. Although built as a country home, Lady Dorothy lived in the house as her primary residence by the later 1920s. After the Cartes' divorce in 1941, their daughter, Bridget D'Oyly Carte, took over the house, which her father, who lived in London, would visit for long weekends. She sold the house in 1949, after his death, to Rowland Smith, owner of the Palace Hotel in Torquay. The house is a Grade II listed building. The garden at Coleton Fishacre runs down a narrow combe from the house to the sea at Pudcombe Cove. It was originally planted by Lady Dorothy and features rare and exotic plants, some of which are unusual in their ability to grow outside a tropical climate due to the proximity of the Gulf Stream to this part of the coast of Devon. Lady Dorothy was noted for retrieving exotic plant species for the garden during her journeys abroad. The Cartes employed a staff of six to maintain the garden, compared with a staff of four to run the house. The garden is Grade II* listed in the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.

The Round Robin is an easy way to take in a bit of everything with train, boat & double-decker link. Alternatively you can just take the train or the boat separately. At Christmas there is a special train of lights & Santa’s steam special... https://www.dartmouthrailriver.co.uk/tours/round-robin https://www.southdevonrailway.co.uk/ Also not to be missed the 'Kingswear Castle' - The oldest coal fired paddle steamer in the UK. The historic paddle steamer Kingswear Castle is the last remaining coal-fired paddle steamer in operation in the UK today and is running on her home waters of the River Dart once more. She was built in 1924 at Philip & Son of Dartmouth and plied her trade between Totnes and Dartmouth until 1965 (her engines are even older, dating back to 1904, eight years before the sinking of the Titanic). In her heyday when this impressive ship was the life blood of the river Dart, she could carry almost 500 passengers. She runs 1¼hr Dartmouth River Cruises and cruises between Dartmouth and Totnes so that passengers can now journey on her as part of the famous Round Robin excursion. The all-inclusive Round Robin ticket includes a steam train, a bus, connecting ferry and river cruise on the beautiful river Dart on the historic Kingswear Castle. https://www.paddlesteamerkc.co.uk/

The island is accessible at low tide by a strip of sand which at high tide is completely covered, leaving a ride on the unique sea tractor as the only means of access.
As well as the sea tractor the island is famed for its links to Agatha Christie, the art-deco inspired hotel and as well as a one time haunt for pirates and smugglers.
The tidal passageway that separates the mainland from Burgh Island is a beautiful sandy beach which is ideal for lazy beach days and sand castle building whilst you admire views of the island.
A walk around the island will let you explore the remains of the chapel or discover an abundance of wildlife that lives on its shores. If you fancy a break visit the Pilchard Inn on the shoreline for a fresh baguette or pint.

Food scene
A picturesque Devon Village with a traditional pub (The Ferry Boat) & a great seafood cafe (The Anchorstone). For the keen walkers, Dittisham can be reached by walking via Sandquay Woods at Old Mill Creek. You can drive there or catch a regular ferry boat from Dartmouth. Opposite Dittisham is Agatha Christie's Greenway Mansion, which can be tied in with a visit to Dittisham and is a 5 minute Ferry crossing. Greenway is also a fantastic day out by itself. The Ham (a park) in Dittisham is an interesting little walk either along the front at low tide or through a picturesque little pathway just up from the Anchor Stone. The Ham is a great place to relax after a blowout seafood lunch, on a blanket with the papers. The pontoon is a very popular spot to drop a crab line.
