The Cherub

A Grade I listed building dating from about 1380, when it was constructed for a wool merchant. It was sensitively restored in the 1950s. Nearby is the Old Shamble, dating from 1400 but much extended in the 17th century.

Bayards Cove

The earliest surviving quay in Dartmouth. Dates set in the cobbles confirm its antiquity. The houses at the southern end and the circular Bayards Cove Fort are Tudor, the buildings at the northern end 18th century. A plaque here commemorates the visit of the PilgrimFathers.

FOSS STREET

A pedestrianised precinct with many small specialist shops and cafes. These continue across Duke Street into Anzac Street, towards St Saviour's church. Just west of Foss Street is the Old Market, an unusual building opened in 1828. Markets are still held here on Fridays and Tuesdays. There are also shops in the Old Market open all year and throughout the week. It is the setting for the annual 'Fatstock Show' in December.

OLD BATTERY

Adjoining the castle is the Old Battery, built in 1545 and repeatedly modernised, particularly in Napoleonic times. It contains many fine cannon and, along with the castle, is now administered by English Heritage..
