Things To Do Around Dartmouth
One of the most notable advantages of our Norton Park chalets is their close proximity to Dartmouth town centre. All of our self-catered Dartmouth holiday lets are only a five minute drive, or 25 minute walk away from the bustling town, where there is plenty to do and see. Here are some of our recommendations of things you absolutely must do- and- see during your visit:
Explore The Surrounding Countryside
One of the best features of Norton Holiday Park is the acres of surrounding countryside, alongside the views of the picturesque River Dart. We recommend you plan a walk during your holiday, so you can really take in the outstanding natural beauty of the South Hams district. We recently created a blog post which covers the 4 of the best walks from our Dartmouth chalets and features both shorter, relaxed strolls as well as more challenging, 12-mile trails.
Another place worth mentioning is the idyllic Blackpool Sands beach, which is only three miles away. The breath-taking beach, set in an unspoilt, sheltered bay, should definitely be at the top of your list whilst you’re staying in one of our Norton Park chalets.
If, however, some days you’d prefer to stay close to the chalets, there is plenty of outdoor space for you and your family or friends to enjoy.
Visit The Local Shops & Restaurants
Dartmouth is widely known in the Devon area for its array of independent shops, cafes and restaurants, so you should definitely factor these into your itinerary. You can find everything from cosy, traditional English pubs, to more stylish and atmospheric restaurants and bistros.
If we were to mention all of our favourite places in Dartmouth to shop and eat, you’d be here a while, so instead, read our blog which has summarised the ‘10 Restaurants & Cafes To Visit Around Dartmouth’.
Explore Family-friendly Activities Nearby
If you’re visiting our holiday chalets in Devon with younger children, you’ll be pleased to hear there are plenty of activities to do in and around Dartmouth, that’ll no doubt keep them entertained. Here are some of the most popular places that we recommend:
- Woodlands Adventure Park – the largest theme park in Devon is another must-see, especially if you have younger children – it promises a day full of fun for everyone
- Dartmouth Steam Railway – especially for train lovers, the iconic Dartmouth steam railway should not be forgotten about!
- Paignton Zoo – this is a great day out for the whole family, and is not too far from the holiday chalets.
- Pennywell Farm – a popular farm just outside of Buckfastleigh, with unique activities on offer, such as pig racing, bottle feeding and tractor rides, to name a few!
- National Marine Aquarium Plymouth – the UK’s largest aquarium is definitely worth the visit during your visit to Devon and is great for both children and adults
