Totnes
is situated within the heart of the South
Hams and surrounded by natural beauty. Originally
an Elizabethan market town, Totnes has acquired
a famous reputation for being a melting pot
of old and new. Its historical routes have
left the town scattered with architectural
gems, including its very own Norman castle,
open to the public all year round. The river
Dart runs through Totnes linking it with
the picturesque fishing town of Dartmouth.
You can explore this beautiful river by boat
trip and experience its wild life en route
to Dartmouth.

With
Dartington College of arts situated on the
edge of Totnes, the town has a vibrant buzz
that accompanies most university towns. Dartington
Hall offers a unique scene of music, dance
and theatre, including world, jazz and classical.
Performances can be viewed at the hall for
minimal costs, and even infiltrate the town
itself from time to time.

Both
the College and Hall are set amongst majestic landscape
gardens on the Dartington Estate. Open to the public
all year around, the gardens were lovingly restored
by the Elmhurst's in the 1920s, and are currently
maintained by the Dartington Trust.
