Ferries in Totnes & Dartington

Totnes has its own mainline train station, with direct connections to Exeter, Plymouth and onward to London — genuinely useful given the town's inland position compared to the coastal resorts elsewhere on this map. Bus services connect Totnes to Dartington and the wider South Hams, and the town is also reachable by river boat from Dartmouth during the summer season.

Parking is available around the town, including car parks near the station and town centre, generally more straightforward than in the steeper coastal towns. Dartington itself is a short bus or drive from Totnes, with its own parking for the estate and gardens.

Every listing comes from Mapzest's directory of real local businesses, many of which manage their own profile directly, so timetable and service details reflect current information. Whether you're arriving by train, bus, river boat, or car, Totnes and Dartington's travel options reflect the area's useful inland position on the River Dart.

Timetables for buses, ferries and trains serving Totnes can vary by season, running less frequently outside the busy summer months, so it’s worth checking a specific listing’s current schedule rather than assuming a fixed year-round timetable. Booking parking or travel in advance is generally more useful during peak visiting periods than at quieter times of year.

Because these listings come from the operators themselves where they maintain a profile, checking a specific bus, ferry or train listing above is more reliable than relying on a general search for getting around Totnes and Dartington and the wider the South Hams area.
