Known for
The Totnes Pound (local currency), Dartington Estate, the independent spirit, the castle and a town that has resisted every chain shop for decades
A little history
One of Devon's oldest towns, with evidence of settlement since Iron Age times. The Norman castle sits above the Dart. Dartington Hall nearby has been a centre of arts and education since 1925
The High Street on a Saturday morning is an event in itself. Dartington Estate for a full afternoon — the gardens, the Barn cinema and the shops. Kayak the Dart if weather allows.
