'UK's most beautiful town looks like Greece' with yachts and bright blue sea

For those seeking a taste of the Greek Isles without leaving UK shores, look no further than Devon. The coastal town of Dartmouth has been hailed as Britain's finest, with its scenic beauty drawing comparisons to the Mediterranean.

Devon, known for its stunning holiday destinations, attracts a multitude of tourists each year. However, Dartmouth stands out with its breathtaking scenery and offerings.

Travel blogger Sarah Hagan, who goes by sarahkhagan online, shared her experiences of the town on TikTok, dubbing it the 'most beautiful town in the UK'. Her video quickly gained traction and went viral, reports the Mirror.

Her TikTok post was flooded with comments praising Dartmouth's unique charm. One user wrote: "Most beautiful place in the UK I've ever been to."

Another said: "Favourite view ever!"

Some were so captivated by Dartmouth's appeal that they questioned its location. One person exclaimed: "THAT'S DEVON? ! It looks like Greece in my opinion."

Dartmouth seamlessly blends coastal beauty with rich history. It boasts a picturesque harbour teeming with activities and a mix of fishing and sailing yachts.

When you think of the coast, the beach is likely the first thing that comes to mind. Just a short distance from Dartmouth, you'll find Blackpool Sands, a secluded corner of the coast.

But this isn't just your average beach, offering visitors the chance to really chill out in its Seaside Sauna. Alternate between the fresh salt water and the calming retreat from the hustle and bustle of outside.

For those who love a bit of adventure, paddle boards or kayaks are available for hire, or even take one out on a guided tour around the coast.

Nestled amongst historical buildings, scenic river locations and the South Devon countryside, you're transported to a whole different world. One of the first stops which should be on your list is Dartmouth Castle.

Perched above the entrance to the harbour, Dartmouth Castle arguably boasts the most picturesque setting of any fortress in the UK. Dartmouth Castle saw action during the Civil War and continued its service all the way up until WWII.

If maritime and naval history is more your thing, you can find the town's Royal Naval College, where navy officers have been trained since 1863, as well as taking a peek at HMS Britannia that's moored in the River Dart.

A stroll around the town will inevitably lead you to Dartmouth Harbour, the heart of the South Devon town, where up to 3,000 moorings can be present during the autumn months. It's also the perfect spot to stop and get your fish and chips fix.

Nestled in the heart of the harbour, Rockfish is a must-visit for seafood lovers. This popular spot offers fresh, local seafood with stunning views over Bayard's Cove.

Its takeaway fish and chips have received rave reviews on TripAdvisor, with customers describing them as nothing short of outstanding. The seasonal MSC Haddock and Chips are available for £11.95.

For those who prefer to dine in, Rockfish also boasts a seafood restaurant overlooking the River Dart. Celebrity Masterchef fans may recognise Rockfish's big boss Mitch Tonks, who has previously judged contestants' attempts at recreating his classic seafood dishes.

The menu features standout dishes such as a Platter of "Fruits de Mer" with Lyme Bay mussels, Portland oysters, dressed Dartmouth crab, Leigh-on-Sea cockles, Norwegian prawns and king prawns (for two people at 37.50 per person); Grilled Brixham Cuttlefish (£19.95); and Rockfish Tacos.

For a more upscale dining experience, the Michelin Guide recommends The Angel of Dartmouth. This modern British restaurant is fronted by Elly Wentworth, known from BBC's Great British Menu, and serves up food influenced by global cuisines.

Dishes include Brixham Crab Risotto (£18), Devonshire Lamb with asparagus, spring pea and lamb jus (£37), and Clotted Cream Parfait (£9.50).

If you're in the mood for a drink, Dartmouth's favourite spot isBar 1620, located at the heart of the harbour. For a laid-back experience with a cocktail or two while taking in the town's view, make your way here.

Bar 1620 boasts an impressive selection of cocktails, including classic mixes, warm concoctions and unique 1620 creations. Additionally, their draft master keg system dispenses the freshest, coldest pints around.
