Featured Locations On This Scavenger Hunt

Brownstone Battery

Travel the coastline to a fortress where echoes of wartime urgency still linger. These concrete relics reveal the defensive ingenuity of a small community determined to secure Devon’s blue waters from unseen threats.

The Daymark

Let our path lead to a beacon known to mariners for generations. High above the fields, this striking tower is impossible to miss and a favorite highlight for locals and first-timers. Kingswear’s own guiding star, it stands watch over land and sea.

Mill Bay Fort

Among the windswept bluffs lies proof of Kingswear’s restless vigilance. Part Tudor stronghold, part wartime sentinel, this site is where generations molded old stone to meet ever-new threats. Expect big views and bigger stories from Devon’s front line.

Kingswear Castle

Peer across the waves to a tower where Kingswear’s fate was protected by stone and gunpowder. A true Devon original, this castle has witnessed peaceful tides and anxious blockades, and remains one of the region’s most captivating silhouettes.

CBM Milestone

Here by the ferry, tides and time are measured not just in memories but in meters. Discover how distance and elevation shaped journeys across the Dart—a spot that quietly keeps track of the years gone by.

Bayard Cove Fort

Let us stroll where strategic minds met the mighty river. This fort has guarded the channel for centuries, standing as a stoic reminder of a town shaped by tides and time. This is classic Dartmouth and Devon history in front of your eyes—a vantage point that has witnessed countless chapters.

Russian Cannon Trophy

Near the riverside, relics of distant battlefields offer a glimpse into global history. These impressive cannons tell stories not from our shores, but from distant fields of conflict, proving how far-reaching Kingswear's connections truly are.

It was good family fun. Great that you can pause to have lunch etc. was fairly easy but didn’t initially realise clues had time limits - hence missed out! Would definitely do another elsewhere.
