Blackawton

A friendly South Hams village with a lively community, Blackawton lies about halfway between Totnes and Kingsbridge (9 miles) and about five miles from Dartmouth. The historic parish church of St. Michael is the village's principle landmark and Blackawton also has a primary school with an excellent reputation, a large and well-used village hall, a post office, an excellent village run shop and a public house.

Dartmouth is about a 15 minute drive away and has the promenade running the length of the estuary. There are a wide selection of bistros, restaurants, boutiques and specialist shops lining its narrow streets with their long flights of winding steps and intriguing medieval buildings.

The town also has a library, primary school and highly rated secondary school. Totnes, about ten miles away, is known as an Elizabethan town but has much earlier origins with a castle, a wonderful position on the River Dart and a main line railway station.
