Riverside View of Dartmouth with Bayard's Cove Quayside Houses, Bayard’s Cove Fort, Above Town, Fields, Boats and River Dart.
River Dart water front view taken from the water, looking across at at Bayard's Cove Quay with Bayard's fort. The image also shows the surrounding waterside properties, Above Town and the surrounding fields. This picturesque waterfront setting is a very popular location for film makers. Bayard's Cove fort was built at the narrowest part of the River Dart estuary in 1534 to protect the busy port. At ground level are a series of gun ports with commanding views which can be explored today. There would have been steps to an upper walk way, a view point and location to fire muskets at potential marauders.
