Dartmouth
Dartmouth is a town in Devon in the south-west of England. It is a major tourist destination set on the banks of the estuary of the River Dart, which is a long narrow tidal river that runs inland as far as Totnes. Originally Dartmouth's only wharf was Bayard's Cove, a relatively small but picturesque area protected by a fort at the southern end of the town.

Totnes
According to local legend, Totnes was the site where Brutus of Troy, the mythical founder of Britain, first came ashore on the island. Indications of its former wealth and importance are given by the number of merchants' houses built in the 16th and 17th centuries, one open to the public in the guise of the town museum. The remains of the Norman Totnes Castle, now owned by English Heritage may also be visited.

Brixham
Brixham is at the southern end of Torbay, across the bay from Torquay, and is an old fishing port. The town is hilly, and built around the harbour which remains in use as a dock for fishing trawlers; in addition, it has a focal tourist attraction in the replica of Sir Francis Drake's ship the Golden Hind that is permanently moored there.

Plymouth
Plymouth is located at the mouths of the rivers Plym and Tamar and at the head of one of the world's largest and most spectacular natural harbours, the Plymouth Sound. The city has a rich maritime past and was once one of the two most important Royal Navy bases in the United Kingdom. The city is full of museums, galleries, shops and historic buildings.
