Most of the South Hams is listed as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is well known for its rugged coastline, sandy beaches and glorious countryside.

Throughout the year, the town hosts a number of fabulous events and festivals, including the Dartmouth Music Festival, The Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta and Dartmouth Food Festival. The town's deep-water port attracts sailing vessels from all over the world and is one of the prettiest in Europe. Totnes (12 miles) offers a main line rail link to London Paddington in 2 hours 40 minutes and the A38 (19 miles), provides access to the cities of Plymouth, Exeter and the M5 beyond.

The Old Mill Kennels are situated in a glorious setting with lovely views from the far end of the site towards the River Dart. The site is on two registered title plans and be divided as such into two distinctive areas, both with their own access off Old Mill Lane. The smaller of the two sites has a small storage building and has been cleared with a layer of Tarram installed and then stoned in recent years, but since then overgrowth has occurred. The larger site has a number of older concrete buildings and a large level area which has been cleared and subject to the necessary permissions, would be suitable for a large workshop.

Please visit for the planning history of Old Mill Kennels. The site has previously been granted permission for stables, car parking and a riding area, also a kennel block and a cattery. Permissions for residential development were last sought in February 2008 and refused.
