market town on the River Dart. Dating back to 907 AD,
this quirky town is dotted with impressive Norman, Tudor Where to stay / 48
and Elizabethan architecture and has a high street full of
independent shops and eateries.
Getting here / 66
The river provides a stunning backdrop for short walks,
waterside eating, kayaking and canoeing, and the whole area
is a paradise for cyclists and those who want to get outdoors.
There are also many interesting attractions in and around the
town with animals, steam trains, museums, castles, cinemas,
a vineyard and more.
Every week the town bustles with lively, local traders selling
crafts, gifts and food at the Friday and Saturday Markets, the
monthly Sunday Food Market and weekly Elizabethan Market
(every Tuesday May - September). Regular, seasonal indoor
markets will take place in the Civic Hall as well - see website
for more details.
With a wide variety of places to stay from thatched inns to
dog friendly cottages, historic hotels to contemporary lodges,
you’ll be sure to find your little piece of heaven in Devon, and
with a lively programme of annual events you can tie some
orange racing, raft racing, partying or pride into your holiday*.
Only 3 hours direct from London and Birmingham and
2 hours from Bristol by train, Totnes is closer than you think.

PLAINS
Totnes offers a really pleasant shopping experience better
than any online retail, because many of the businesses are
housed in, under or next to quirky, historic buildings, have
colourful facades, impressive window displays and beautiful Me and East
interiors. Being able to see and feel the products, speak to
the retailers and smell the aromas is worth the trip.
You can find everything you might need or want here
including contemporary and vintage fashion, handmade
shoes, organic bedding, local jewellery, greetings cards,
aromatherapy candles, glassware, world gifts, a stylish
haircut, craft supplies, books and much more.
Start on the Plains and work your way through town - don’t
miss Ticklemore Street with its renowned, local cheese
shop and there’s so much more to discover in The Narrows
and Leechwell Street as well.
