Access at Dartmouth Castle

Please note that the council are currently carrying out building works adjacent to the castle. There is a revised route through the site and visitors currently exit via a narrow spiral staircase – approximately 12 steps. We regret that access is very restricted. If you have a question you'd like to ask us about access or facilities ahead of your visit, please contact a member of the team on 01803 834445 or email Dartmouth.Castle@english-heritage.org.uk and we’d be happy to help.
