Totnes
With a population struggling to reach 7,000 the interesting little town of Totnes
is steeped in history and legend (it’s here that a Trojan prince named
Brutus is believed in folklore to have founded Britain in the 11th
century).
Present day Totnes is a bustling market town with charming views and
splendid architecture with plenty of listed buildings for such a small place.
Totnes has a wide range of delightful restaurants for visitors to pick
and choose from – the choices range from traditional English tea rooms and
bistros that are simply brimming with character to foreign-food restaurants.
Things To See & Do In Totnes
The first thing that strikes you about Totnes is the pure charm and elegance
of the town – a walk up the steep streets is highly recommended. In
many ways it’s typical of the small English town experience and the narrow
streets are dwarfed by ancient, historic buildings (quite a few dating back to
the 16th century).
Totnes Castle – First
built in the 11th century, the remains of Totnes Castle today are
thought to be from the 13th century. The castle is well worth
visiting and offers some spectacular vistas of the town and River Dart below.
Other points of interest in Totnes include the Guildhall
(including some interesting exhibitions including Oliver Cromwells table),
the Totnes museum (located in a beautiful old Elizabethan style house)
and Totnes Rare Breeds Centre (a petting zoo).
Close to Totnes is the village of Dartington,
boasting some fascinating medieval buildings. Dartington also has some lovely
gardens.
