Help us bring history to life

We are lucky enough to live close to one of England’s most beautiful rivers. The area has a remarkable history and the West Dart History Group holds talks and organises visits to explore that history. Our meetings are held at Ashprington Village Hall every two months. Please join us to learn more about our past and how it has shaped the way we live now in the villages, valleys and towns of South Devon.
