Dartmouth, a port with Royal Connections

Posted in March 2015….

Dartmouth is an historic port on the south coast of Devon which welcomes thousands of visitors each year – it is beautiful!

Perhaps most famous for the Britannia Royal Naval College – set on the hill (pictured above) – the town is home to our Seated Titles, as that is where the land (“Seat”)  is located.  There are lovely shops to browse through all day – very few “high street” chains as it is not big enough!  “Foodies” travel from miles around to eat in the many restaurants.  Mitch Tonks has a great seafood restaurant on the front – The Seahorse, and a couple of amazing traditional fish and chip shops too.  There is something in town for everyone – when I visit I love just watching the yachts and passenger ferries / trips go about their business on the river.

A marriage made in Heaven Devon!

Few people know that back in 1939 Dartmouth was where Princess Elizabeth (now our Queen) met her husband to be, Philip, a cadet at the Naval College.  The rest as they say, is history.

So there you have it, whilst I cannot promise you a relationship with a Royal I can offer you a Seated Title with a Royal connection!

I remain your most obedient servant….
