Totnes Devon | Walking Tour Of The Historic Market Town

Join us on our tour of the beautiful Totnes in South Devon. The amazing little Saxon parish is situated on the A381, in-between Pagination and Dartmouth, and is worth a visit if you are ever in the area. This little quirky town is home to numerous independent boutiques and shops. Record shops, bakers, retro antique, and clothes shops adorn the main High Street and Forest Street. Giving you a feeling that you have stepped back in time to the 70’s. It really is a great place to wind away a few hours if you want to go window shopping for those unusual things. Normally, the town is very quiet, as it does have a mere population of 5,500. To many it could be classed a village! But with it being situated on the River Dart, Totnes is famous for being host to the annual regatta - during which it becomes a bustling hive of approx. 15,000 -20,000 wannabe sailors and boat lovers. The towns history spans back centuries, and it was mentioned in the infamous Domesday book. It has a castle and is home to the beautiful St Mary’s Church and the Brutus Stone. And that is just a small selection of historic buildings. It can be noted that Totnes has more listed buildings per head than any other town in the UK! There is the towering Eastgate that hangs across the Highstreet, which was rebuilt not so long ago. And you also have the Butterwalk. The Butterwalk is a historic Tudor covered walkway that was initially built to protect the dairy products that were sold here from the sun and rain. Back in the 16th century, Totnes was the second richest town in Devon and the 16th richest in the UK. As a result, you will find many of the properties in Totnes were solidly built and they were built to last…And even these days, those buildings look stunning. The town was host to the filming of the BBC series, the Onedin Line, which ran from 1971 to 1980. It was also location for scenes from the 1995 remake of Sense and Sensibility and the 1981 film, the French lieutenant’s woman. We visited on a Sunday in early April, there were no film crews, and it was peacefully quiet. As soon as we entered Fore Street, which leads up to the High Street, we were hit with the aroma of sugar and caramels from the Fudge shop. Something we decided we had to buy on the way back.. We headed up the High Street to the Market Square, where you can find a great outdoor market if you ever visit on either a Friday or Saturday. But for us, we found that the window shopping and a walk along the River Dart was enough. It can be noted that the main streets do go up quite an incline, and it is not a hill,I would like to push a pram or pushchair up. Fortunately for us, Amy and Beau are past that age..
