📍 Totnes Old Bridge over the River Dart
9-miles up the river from Dartmouth, Totnes is the first point where you'll find a road crossing over the River Dart!
Totnes Old Bridge was designed by the Devon architect Charles Fowler and constructed in 1828. Look over the side of the bridge (looking up river) at low tide you can still see the foundations of an older bridge that previously crossed the river at this point.

It may be the last day of January and part of Fore Street is still closed to traffic due to planned work on gas pipes BUT Totnes is well and truly open and enjoying a relaxed winter buzz in the sunshine ☀️

🚗 You can still access High Street by car if you need to as the traffic direction on Station Road has been temporarily reversed. Simply drive down Station Road and turn right up Upper Fore Street.

Please do and - we hope to see you soon!

Is this the best Park Run view ever?

With views like these and the sights and sounds of nature as your backing track, we think The Sharpham Estate Park Run in Totnes is absolutely the best!

Free, friendly and fun, it takes place every Saturday at 9am. It starts on the edge of Totnes on the footpath and cycle path towards Ashprington.

The closest spot to park is Victoria Street Car Park - walk along New Walk towards The Steam Packet Inn turn right up the lane and then follow the path towards the start.

With lots of great cafes in Totnes for a post run treat afterwards, it’s definitely a run to tick off your list

📍Reed beds alongside the River Dart, Sharpham Estate near Totnes 23/12/24

If you’re looking to blow away the festive cobwebs, you’ll find a pick of walks in and around Totnes on our website. A short diversion off the walk between Totnes and Ashprington takes you right through the towering reeds towards the river. The path can be muddy as it floods at high tides, but is beautifully tranquil and a haven for wildlife.
