Dartmouth, park in town, walk to the castle, take the tiny ferry back to town, have a drink in The Cherub and fish and chips from Rockfish restaurant or tiny take-away. Lots of boats to look at, plenty of shops. Alf Resco’s is our favourite cafe, opens really early, closes at 1.30pm, great atmosphere.
