Totnes, the home of Riverview Apartment, is situated within
the heart of the South Hams and surrounded by natural beauty. Originally
an
Elizabethan
market
town,
Totnes
has acquired a famous reputation for being a melting pot of
old and new. Its historical roots have left the town scattered
with architectural gems, including its very own Norman castle,
open to the public all year round. The River Dart runs through
Totnes linking it with the picturesque fishing town of Dartmouth.
You can explore this beautiful river by boat trip and experience
its wild life en route to Dartmouth.
The selling of original handmade
wares is still an important and cherished custom in Totnes. On
Fridays and Saturdays
Totnes turns into a bustling hub of activity ideal for buying local
produce and unusual gifts. The Elizabethan market, held every Tuesday,
keeps tradition alive, as town dwellers dress-up in period costume
and sell unique crafts typical of the area.
Totnes boasts a selection
of excellent restaurants and eateries, specialising in varied cuisine
from around the world.
It is, however, the freshness of the locally caught seafood,
renowned in this region, which makes fish a speciality on the menu.
Many
places combine good food with good surroundings and atmosphere.
The Kingsbridge Inn, located at the top of the High Street is
the oldest pub in Totnes, and full of character and charm. You'll
find
'Rumours', situated in the centre of the high street, providing
great food in a bohemian atmosphere. Or try The
Royal Seven Stars at the bottom of town or the Steampacket, which
overlooks the river - perfect for a romantic
meal for two.
