About

Totnes sits on the banks of the River Dart in South Hams, Devon. The town rises from the river up to Totnes Castle, a Norman motte-and-bailey that looks over the High Street. Narrow lanes, a market square and the 16th-century Guildhall shape the town centre, where independent shops, cafes and small galleries occupy historic buildings. A stone bridge crosses the Dart close to the town centre, linking riverside paths, moorings and quayside businesses. The slope from river to castle affects street patterns and views across the town.

Local projects and small-scale trade are visible alongside everyday services. The Totnes Pound, introduced in 2007, still appears in some shops and is part of a wider community interest in local sourcing; Transition Town Totnes has influenced food and energy initiatives in the area. Totnes railway station on the Exeter–Plymouth line provides regular connections. Year-round markets, craft workshops and boat activity on the Dart reflect how the town functions as a local hub for commerce and river transport.
