The Dartmouth to Totnes ferry service is a great way to visit Totnes. Totnes is one of the oldest towns in the UK dating back to AD 907 and has a lot to offer and is well worth a visit.
In addition to the beautiful scenery around the river Dart, Totnes is a lovely place to go shopping as it’s full of unique, independent traders. Saturday is a good day to visit as it’s market day. If you are self-catering at Treacle Valley campsite, then Bens Farm shop stocks fantastic organic produce, and if you want a good lunch we would suggest ‘The Steam Packet’.

The Torquay to Brixham ferry service is the best way to get to Brixham. Brixham is one of the UK’s largest fish ports and is also one of Torbay’s most popular local attractions.
The ‘Western Lady’, operates from the North Quay on Torquay harbourside.
We often catch the ferry to Brixham, for us, it still feels like going on holiday, and it’s a fun way to travel. We sometimes eat fish and chips and go for a pint in one of the numerous inns. We also have lunch at Brixham Yacht Club, which I think has the best views in the town.
If you’re looking for information on ‘beaches in Brixham‘ please follow the link to Treacle Valley campsites Beaches Page.
