The Dart Estuary

The river

The River Dart rises 550 metres above sea level on the high mires of north Dartmoor and makes its 52 mile journey to the sea passing through Dartmeet, Buckfastleigh and Totnes then Dartmouth and Kingswear at the estuary mouth.

The estuary

The estuary of the Dart is tidal up as far as the weir at Totnes, the bridging point 12 miles up-river. Like the other estuaries of South Devon, the original deep river valley has been inundated by later sea level rise, with the tide flooding in to create a wide expanse of water

The Dart Valley Trail is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty [AONB] offering stunning, scenic walks and incorporating the South Devon Heritage Coast.
