Missed the Castle tea-room. Would take another trip on the paddle steamer.  I can thoroughly recommend a trip on the Kingwear Castle paddle steamer for anyone visiting the area. Superbly restored and the ability to get a close up look at the steam engine. Bud 4/4 - Stanley

Indeed. Sadly  was champing at the bit to get into town after our trip. I was hoping I might be allowed a quick engine room visit!

Good idea. I am really bored right now. Maybe I should fire up the Mamod engines I bought for the non existent grand kids.

Go to Embed Codes, use the BBCode and directly copy/paste it in: ![[Linked Image]](https://tm-img.com/images/2021/02/09/Dartmouth-Fuel-Barge-1---Copy.md.jpg) Thanks will try that next time  Rich, I've been looking for a building plot / project Dartmouth / Falmouth / Fowey (I sail) so as you're a local would appreciate a heads up  ...wouldn't tell the other locals it was you who tipped off a non-local

Missed the Castle tea-room.
A trip on the Castle Ferry (open topped small jobby) from the Embankment out to the Castle takes you past the Mermaid Graham, up the steps to the Castle and tearooms, it's a nice little half day job and you can enjoy looking down on the boats making their way into or out of the mouth of the river whilst we enjoy a pot of tea and a "cream on first". A good friend of ours in the village used to own the Castle Ferry, an ex Merchant Captain and later river pilot of the Dart when we still were commercial. The last of that was the timber boats going up to Totnes but that's a long time ago now probably 25 years ago, I could see them from my office window. We'll give it a go when you next come down.

Please sir, can we all come.
I LOVE a car ferry!!! Can’t beat looking over those louvres at the water although came close to grounding, it felt, when boarding the Bodennick (apologies for spelling) one in 2019 (or “the good old days” as I call it....)

HB You have to take the turntable ferry across to Skye (or back from Skye) for a really interesting experience! https://skyeferry.co.uk/
