Tony's Explorations

The Dart is the home to many types of estuary and sea birds, such as herons, the elegant white egrets, cormorants, gulls and a variety of migrant waders. Seals are often seen basking or swimming and feeding in the estuary.

In addition to the wildlife experiences, your exploration of the Dart Estuary will unfold some of its rich history from many years as a port and haven. You can view places like:

  • Kingswear and Dartmouth Castles

  • Old Mill, Dittisham Mill, Bow and Hackney Creeks

  • Dittisham Village and Greenaway - home to the late Dame Agatha Christie

  • Galmpton and Stoke Gabriel

  • Sharpham Estate with its impressive house and vineyards

  • Totnes, a fascinating Tudor market town at the head of the estuary

River and Estuary

the Flatowers

The estuary is dotted with old quays and lime kilns and even the wreck of the paddle steamer the Kingswear Castle.

You can take the chance to step ashore at a number of places, to ‘stretch your legs’ or ‘whet yer whistle’ at some of the creekside inns such as the Maltsters or the Ferry Boat Inn.

If you prefer some solitude the boat can be moored or anchored while you picnic at quiet locations ashore, or on the boat. A range of picnics/buffet lunches are available by prior arrangement and I will supply all cutlery and crockery.
