Bayards Cove Inn
Originally Dartmouth's only wharf, a relatively small but picturesque area protected by a fort at the southern end of the town. It is protected by a fort at the southern end of the town. One of the most visited locations in Dartmouth, close by the Lower Ferry and the Dartmouth Arms and Bayards Cove Inn.
The location was used to film the famous 1970s TV series - The Onedin Line.
Bayard's Cove Fort is a small early Tudor artillery fort, built to defend the harbour entrance. The tower was a third means of defence for the port, providing additional fire to protect the port should any enemy ships have broken past Dartmouth Castle and Kingswear Castle at the entrance of the cove. Today, the site is owned by English Heritage, and sits at the end of the pier as an open shell.
