The River Dart at Dartmouth Devon England
Kingswear, Dartmouth and the River Dart by Drone 21st November 2017
A quick first drone flight over my home town of Kingswear - firstly flying to the end of Kingswear Creek, and then over the River Dart where you can see the ferries, Dartmouth Castle and the estuary of the River Dart.
In the UK, a Creek is an inlet off a tidal river and unfortunately today, we see Kingswear Creek, not at its most beautiful as the tide was out revealing the thick mud!
I'm pleased with the quality although the light was poor. It was filmed using a DJI Phantom 4 Pro.

Postbridge, East Dart River, Grey Wethers Walk was about 8 miles in distance. The terrain of the route was a variety of open moorland paths, some passing through shoulder high gorse. Even though the ground was gently undulating without any long or steep slopes, the walking was quite demanding due to the distance and the rough terrain underfoot. Route finding was mostly easy with some good paths and some good landmarks. However, there was one section of open moorland where the path becomes faint and disappears altogether over waterlogged tussock ground. A map and compass is therefore advisable for this walk. There were 4 stiles to negotiate.

England - South Devon - cruise from Dartmouth up the River Dart to Totnes
Because of the state of the tide, we initially start out going down river to the mouth of the Dart before turning and proceeding upstream. Look out for birds on the river bank. Photographed in May, 2016.

BANKS OF THE RIVER DART (PART 10) NOSS MARINA TO CABLE CAR FERRY, DARTMOUTH UK.
The Dartmouth Higher Ferry, also known as the Dartmouth--Kingswear Floating Bridge, is a vehicular cable ferry which crosses the River Dart in the English county of Devon. It is one of three ferries that cross the tidal river from Dartmouth to Kingswear, the others being the Lower Ferry and the Passenger Ferry.
Unlike the Lower Ferry, which operates from slips in the centres of both Dartmouth and Kingswear, the Higher Ferry crosses to the north. In doing so, it allows the A379 road between Kingsbridge and Torbay to bypass the narrow streets in the centre of Kingswear and Dartmouth.
The eastern ferry slip of the Higher Ferry is immediately adjacent to the Britannia Crossing, a level crossing across the Paignton and Dartmouth Steam Railway. All vehicles entering or leaving the ferry must cross this crossing.
The ferry is owned and operated by the Dartmouth--Kingswear Floating Bridge Company, and a toll is charged. The previous ferry boat, named No. 7, was built in 1960 and could carry up to 18 cars. Unusually, although it used cables for guidance, it was actually propelled by paddle wheels, a characteristic it shared with the Bac du Sauvage in France.Bridge Company signed a contract for the construction of a replacement ferry. This ferry, which can carry up to 36 cars, came into service in late June 2009. Unlike the previous ferry, the new ferry is a more conventional cable ferry, using the cables for propulsion as well as guidance. However, it is also provided with four thrusters, one positioned at each corner, in order to provide additional manoeuvrability when operating in strong winds and tidal conditions.

Stoke Gabriel in Devon - View over the River Dart
Went down to Devon this weekend for my Mum's birthday. We stayed at a really lovely little place in Stoke Gabriel, aptly called Stoke Gabriel Lodgings, overlooking the River Dart. Here is a bit of the Mavic footage I got while I was there.

DARTMOUTH AND THIS ENGLAND
Dartmouth is a historic town in South Devon, England. A tourist destination on the western banks of the River Dart, a long tidal ria navigable for the 12 miles to Totnes. It’s in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, (AONB). Dartmouth was of strategic importance as a deep water port in the days of Sailing Ships. From here the Crusaders departed in 1147 and 1190. Dartmouth has been a “home” for the Royal Navy from the reign of King Edward 3rd. The Royal Naval College where all Royal Navy Officers are trained is still here. To prevent attacks from the sea the estuary of the River Dart was closed every night by a great chain stretched between Dartmouth Castle and Kingswear Castle on the opposite bank – so it was during World War 2! In 1373 Chaucer visited in his “Canterbury Tales”. In 1620 The Pilgrim Fathers sailed in here to the town’s Bayard’s Cove en route to America – the rest is history! Dartmouth contains many medieval streetscapes and historic buildings. The Royal Castle Hotel 1639. The Cherub Pub 1380. Dartmouth featured in the defeat of the Spanish Armada. “Greenway” the home of Sir Francis Drake - in the 20th. Century became the home of Novelist Dame Agatha Christie.
