Car Hire Dartmouth and Rentals in Dartmouth
Car hire and Rentals from Chief Rentals, the leading South Devon and Torquay Car Hire company
Dartmouth is a must place to visit for anyone in the South Devon area due to the fantastic location, scenery, buildings and the river. Dartmouth sits at the mouth of the river dart as a tidal river that feeds from Totnes and Dartmoor upstream. The river forms a prominent feature in the local geography and history of Dartmouth. The Dartmouth Castle and Kingswear Castles that protect the entrance to the river from the sea meant that this was a strategically significant naval harbour and the history of the town is embedded in Naval tradition.

For visitors to the area, the range of things to do is fantastic. The Paignton to Dartmouth preserved railway is a must, in fact, the railway never actually reaches Dartmouth but ends at Kingswear. Ferries are constantly running from the station to Dartmouth for foot passengers. In fact, Dartmouth does have its own railway station but opposition to a railway bridge from local fisherman meant that the railway never actually reached Dartmouth. A trip to Dartmouth Castle is well worthwhile. This stronghold looks over the mouth of the river and has great views out to sea as well as providing visitors with the opportunity to go right inside a naval castle! The influence of the navy extends further with the presence of the Britannia Royal Naval College at Dartmouth where officers of the Royal navy and many other navy’s are trained.
The most prominent week in the Dartmouth calendar is regatta week. Dartmouth, as a natural harbour, has a strong tradition in watersports and the Port of Dartmouth royal regatta is one of the best Regattas in the UK. With a history dating back to 1822, the regatta has expanded to include sailing and rowing events as well as other sporting events such as running, tennis and swimming. There are other social based events such as the street market, tug of war, barrel rolling races and other competitions.
