The guide books warn that the road to Dartmouth Castle is narrow and that there is limited parking – they are not kidding – I don’t think I would like to try this in the high season. There is only space to park around a dozen cars – as an alternative you catch a boat from the town to the castle.

After Dartmouth, I headed for lunch in Brixham. When I last visited here, four years ago I ate in a restaurant in the harbour called Shores and had some very good meals. I was pleased to find the place still there and run by the same people so the meal was as good as I had hoped.

After the meal spent the time walking around the town an out to the half mile long break water – all very nice.
