The Elizabethan town of Totnes is worth a visit. The town is steeped in history, the town is built on a hill above the River Dart, which divides Totnes from the suburb of Bridgetown, and is tidal up to Totnes, where it meets a 17th century weir. 

Today Totnes is also a thriving centre for music, art, theatre and natural health, and its blend of traditional and alternative culture makes it quite unique. 

There is a twice-weekly market where you can buy antiques, musical instruments, second-hand books, handmade clothing from across the world, and local organically produced products.
