An enforced Bank Holiday weekend in the heart of beautiful Dartmouth turned into one of the best weekend breaks ever.  I highly recommend the Town Pontoon as a base from which to observe the world going by.  Sitting sipping my Pimms and reading the paper on deck on the gorgeous River Dart couldn't have been more pleasant.    Report
