Is Dartmouth worth a visit ? 

The lower ferry is better because it takes you down into the pretty village of Kingswear and you depart right next to the stunning Bayard's Cove on the Dartmouth side. Keep cash a£ive!!!

Lovely yacht going out in the closing moments. I really am torn as to what to do going forward with my life. So because I have no idea what to do, I will do nothing until September. That will also give me time to heal. Love to you both. I hope you are getting better Ken.

I'm loving these short vlogs. Thanks.

Beautiful scenes again and the music was sublime. We are loving this trip 😊

I love Dartmouth. Will be staying in a flat overlooking the river in March. Stayed in same flat last year and it was wonderful, great views from every room. Take care you two, Love Linda x

Liked this one as my brother lives there and has just moved now across the way to Kingswear opposite Dartmouth just up from the smaller ferry you saw . He has a boat just up from the ferry you crossed on. Couldn’t see him on the footage 😂 The place has a lovely feel …

Love Dartmouth first went there as a kid in the scouts for Dartmouth town week where we marched down the Main Street to the bandstand and did a concert on the bandstand with the 234th Northwinds scout band from Bristol, played there all week very fond memories.

The smaller castle on the other side of the river is called Kingswear & it's a holiday home you can rent from the Landmark trust. We've had some lovely holidays there in the past. It's particularly suitable if you have some means of getting on the water, like kayaks or a RIB.

Love Dartmouth ,so much to see, the castle, the steam railway and so on. We stay at the club site just out of the town and catch a bus in

Just catching up after the festivities. I hope you both had a lovely Christmas. Carol did well with those stairs, really lovely video. Did you notice if there was much provision for wild camping in the area? Em

What a lovely video - gorgeous views and beautiful music accompanying it, thank you.

This is my home town and you've done it proud. Lovely little video. Thank you.

Beautiful and relaxing. Thanks.

Really enjoying the daily ‘snippet’ videos, don’t have to wait so long for your news!

Loving the daily short videos ,thank you guys .

Dartmouth seems like a nice place. I really love seeing little snippets of different parts of England. Love to come over for a holiday one day.

Enjoying your vlog with my morning Cuppa Tea 🍵 😋 🎉

Beautiful Dartmouth....been there this past weekend for a break in a lovely Hotel....love it and we was lucky with the weather too...great video 🥰🥰🥰

Interesting visit to Dartmouth👍 I have fond memories of I think it was Thursdays marching around the Naval college grounds accompanied by the Royal Marines band playing Hearts of Oak.

I really enjoyed this Q&A. Love your story. Looking forward to more of your travels insights and wunderlust.

Enjoying your videos on South Devon, your video brought back some memories on Dartmouth. I remember last time we were there sitting on a bench in Dartmouth opposite Kingswear railway station when the whole of the ferry crossing was taken up with a funeral procession complete with coffin, I couldn’t help but think that was one hell of a send off. Your air b and b looks great.

I'm really enjoying these videos, you are so good at putting them together.

Thank you ever so much for a lovely video. Enjoy your trip xx

Loved this nice laid back video and the relaxing music,,looks a very interesting place full of histoy,happy travels Greetings from Stockholm Sweden.

I know and love all these sites/areas. The parking less so 🤣. Looking forward to see where you head to next.

Another great episode. Thank you Carol and Ken. Some fantastic buildings & beautiful scenery. Best wishes Dave & Dawn ❤

Love Dartmouth , such a lovely Devon town x😊

Nice to watch your Air B&B adventure. Not been to Dartmouth so must head that way. Lovely video guys. Thank you. 🙏 🚐🎄

Lovely film. Happy Christmas x

Hi, lovely video thanks for sharing xx

Dartmouth looks like a nice little place. It must be really nice in the summer. Lovely stained glass windows in the church. Grand views from the tower.

😁 Great vid Carol & Ken 😁

I was wondering if you'd go along Dartymouth because if you don't go down to the upper ferry it's a long way round by the top roads to get across by bridge at Totnes. Mind if you go that way with your new Camper when you get it there's a lovely day out round Robin where you use Boat, Steam Train and Omnibus plus the passenger ferry. Starting at Totnes and coming down the estuary to Dartmouth, cross on the little passengers ferry and go to Paignton on the steam train and back to Totnes on the Bus. You can take time between each leg for sightseeing and lunch. Plus it's a real treat for transport fanatics. Nice to see the Fort too , haven't been along there for years, not since the granddaughters were little. Tidy little two master in the closing clips too.

Another enjoyable vlog on English history. Interesting to see the naval academy on the hill. And the castles. Merry Christmas to you both. Thank you. Take care 🙏🩵 💙🎅🧑‍🎄🎄 🩷

Stayed on the C&CC site at Dartmouth earlier this year. It was ideal with a bus stop at the gate now I've got me bus pass 👍🐸

Lovely place 😊

Another lovely video! Merry Christmas from Wyoming!

A very Happy Christmas to you and your family. Regards AJ

I do like when Carol sets out on her own and gives us a tour. Nothing personal towards ken. It’s just another point of view looking at your adventure. Best of Christmas wishes to you both. Mary

Hello you two, what a beautiful town and perfect view over the bay/sea. I am going to Google the difference of 'a cup of tea'. (here you go again) and 'having tea'. What's behind the a cup and a meal thing. When I was young there was a nice place in my hometown for ' tea'. It was a feast of all sort of cakes and cream and bonbons, very posh.

😂 Dartmouth looks lovely, looking forward to visiting one day. I don't fancy the smaller ferry, not in a campervan or car!!!!😄🚐🌴

Thanks for another interesting vlog. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you both🎉

Happy Christmas!

I've just watched your Dartmouth video and note your comments about the towers from which chains were strung across the river to prevent " enemy " ships from entering the harbour. If that's what you were told, then someone is lying. The real reason for such towers and chains - which can be found in many, if not most, southern, western and northern European ports - was to stop pirates entering the harbour to raid the town and take slaves. You can see them in seaports as far apart as Looe in Cornwall to Positano in Italy - where they are called " Saracen Towers ". "Saracen" being the old name for North Africans. These pirates were called Corsairs and they were BLACK, AFRICAN, MUSLIMS from North Africa - Tripolitania ( Libya) , Tunisia, Morocco and Algiers. They raided sea-ports and coastal settlements and stopped and raided ships at sea. They raided all across southern , western and northern Europe, up as far as the Scandinavian countries and Iceland - girls with blond hair and blue eyes were highly prized by Arabs as sex-slaves. They raided what is now Eire and sometimes took the entire population of a town as slaves. They stopped ships mid-Atlantic to seize crew and passengers as slaves. They raided the entire Eastern seaboard of the Americas as far down as Mexico. These raids took place between the 16th and early 19th centuries. Official estimates are that 2.5 million WHITE people were seized and sold in North African slave markets. At one point, the British Government was so concerned about the effects on coastal populations - the Corsairs raided up to 100 miles inland - and trade they sent a man called George Washington as an Ambassador to the North African nations to plead with them to stop their raids. The rulers refused, telling him that their religion permits them to take non-believers as slaves. George Washington, then a British civil servant, became the first President of the United States. The slave-taking and raids were only stopped by a joint British, American and Dutch task force which initially intercepted the pirates at sea - freeing captives and galley slaves ( as all the Corsair's ships used galley-slaves as well as sails ) and executing the pirates. The task force led by U.S. Marines - this was the early 19th century - attacked the Corsair's home ports, sinking their ships and landing to engage the armies of those countries. Only when the task force looked like it would totally annihilate the defenders did the rulers of the four slave-taking nations sue for peace and agree to stop what they were doing. The battle hymn of the United States Marine Corps commemorates this first major action of theirs - it starts " From the Halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli .... ". Algiers was the first of the four nations to break the treaty they had signed and started raiding southern France again. This lead to the occupation of Algiers by French Forces which lasted till the early 1960s. For the same reason, Spanish troops occupied Morocco and Italian forces occupied Tunisia. Of course, you will never be told any of this by the marxists who control the historical narrative these days because, as we all know, only Britain and America ever took people as slaves and, of course, black people and muslims can do no wrong - only white people do bad things.

Never been to Dartmouth but i certainly will looks great, thanks for sharing 😊

Thank you both have a merry Christmas and a happy new year “ Nadolig Llawen a Blwyddyn Newydd Dda “ 👍👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧🇨🇦🦢🥃

Hari Om It's a stunning place... YAM xx

I live in Dartmouth and as a local I say that it's beautiful but kinda boring. The coast walks are always beautiful, but the town has nothing for locals, it's all art galleries and overpriced bakeries, it's extremely expensive too.

Something else that’s gone cashless……

I wonder when people are going to realise what a cashless society is going to mean….😢
