Kingswear

Somewhat overshadowed by its illustrious neighbour Dartmouth, Kingswear has nevertheless a charm and character all of its own. The Paignton and Dartmouth Steam Railway terminates here (you must get the ferry to Dartmouth), and it has its own castle sat squarely on the rocks perilously close to the sea. Plenty of accommodation, shops, pubs and a slower pace of life than that over the water make Kingswear a great HQ for all types of holiday.
