Description


One of the most picturesquely-sited fortresses in England. For over six hundred years Dartmouth Castle has guarded the narrow entrance to the Dart Estuary and the busy port of Dartmouth.The complex of defences was begun in 1388 by John Hawley, privateering mayor of dartmouth and the prototype of the flamboyant 'Shipman' in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. About a century later the townsmen added the imposing and well preserved 'gun tower', probably the very first fortification in Britain purpose-built to mount 'ship sinking' heavy cannon. Unusually incorporating the fine church of St Petrox, the castle saw action during the Civil War, and continued in service right up to WW2. Thanks to English Heritage for all information.
