Kingswear is a quaint village located on the east bank of River Dart, just across from Dartmouth in Devon. This idyllic locality boasts a rich maritime history, with boatbuilding and shipping being its traditional trades. In fact, during the 16th century, Kingswear's harbour was considered significant enough to warrant building a fortress - Kingswear Castle - as part of the river defenses against Spanish Armada. Today, Kingswear welcomes visitors with its stunning waterfront and picturesque cottages that cling to the steep hillsides of the village's narrow streets. It is an excellent base for exploring some of Devon's tourist hotspots like Dartmoor National Park, or just spending a lazy day exploring fantastic pubs and tea rooms around the town centre. The property market in Kingswear mostly features cottage-style homes with gorgeous views of River Dart and lush countryside scenery - perfect for those looking to escape city living or own a charming holiday retreat.
