View from the Arched Entrance at Bayards Cove Fort of Steps, Cobbled Street, River Dart and Riverside Houses, Dartmouth, Devon,

View looking up river from the arched entrance at Bayards Cove fort Dartmouth, Devon. From the time worn steps and detail of historic fortified wall the cobbled waterside and a lamp post are in the foreground. Beyond are riverside houses and a glimpse of the River Dart, England. 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.
