Totnes, Devon
Totnes is a historic market town located on the banks of the River Dart in the South Hams District of Devon.
Totnes was first recorded in 907 AD where it was the site of a castle. By the 12th century, Totnes had already became an important market town and by 1523, Totnes was the second richest town in Devon and the sixteenth richest in the whole of England. However, it wasn't until 1553 when Totnes was granted character by King Edward VI.
Totnes has a very large number of historic buildings and is said to have more listed buildings than any other town. It's town centre is mainly built along one street, High Street, which has a beautiful arch known as East Gate over it as well as a magnificent church dedicated to St Mary. There is also a castle in the town, which is what the town is most famous for. Although only the walls remain, it's a great place to see views of the town. The castle is managed by English Heritage and a fee is charged to non-members.
Much like Glastonbury in Devon's neighbouring county of Somerset, Totnes has become home to a New Age community over the last few years.

Totnes is a market town and civil parish at the head of the estuary of the River Dart in Devon, England within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Totnes is about 22 miles (35 km) south southwest of Exeter and is the administrative centre of the South Hams District Council.
Totnes has a long recorded history, dating back to AD907 when its first castle was built; it was already an important market town by the 12th century. Indications of its former wealth and importance are given by the number of merchants' houses built in the 16th and 17th centuries.
Today, the town of Totnes is a thriving centre for music, art, theatre and natural health. It has a sizeable alternative and New Age community, and Totnes is known as a place where one can live a bohemian lifestyle. Two electoral wards mention Totnes (Bridgetown and Town).
Totnes is built on a hill rising from the west bank of the River Dart, which separates Totnes from the suburb of Bridgetown. It is at the lowest bridging point of the river which here is tidal and forms a winding estuary down to the sea at Dartmouth. The river continues to be tidal for about 1 mile (1.6 km) above the town, until it meets Totnes Weir, built in the 17th century. Today there are two road bridges, a railway bridge and a footbridge over the river in the town. Totnes Bridge is the nearest bridge to the sea and is a road bridge built in 1826–28 by Charles Fowler.
Totnes is said to have more listed buildings per head than any other town. The Norman motte-and-bailey Totnes Castle, now owned by English Heritage, was built during the reign of William I, probably by Juhel of Totnes. The late medieval church of St Mary with its 120 feet (37 m) high west tower, visible from afar, is built of rich red Devonian sandstone. A prominent feature of the town is the Eastgate—an arch spanning the middle of the main street. This Elizabethan entrance to the walled town was destroyed in a fire in September 1990, but was rebuilt.
The ancient Leechwell, so named because of the supposed medicinal properties of its water, and apparently where lepers once came to wash, still provides fresh water. The Butterwalk is a Tudor covered walkway that was built to protect the dairy products once sold here from the sun and rain. Totnes Elizabethan House Museum is in one of the many authentic Elizabethan merchant's houses in the town, built around 1575.
The A38 passes about 7 miles (11 km) to the west of Totnes, connected to the town by the A384 from Buckfastleigh and the A385 which continues to Paignton. The town also lies on the A381 between Newton Abbot and Salcombe. Totnes railway station is situated on the Exeter to Plymouth line, and has trains direct to London Paddington, Penzance and Plymouth, and as far north as Aberdeen. Nearby, Totnes (Riverside) railway station is at the southern end of the South Devon Railway Trust which runs tourist steam locomotives along the line that follows the River Dart up to Buckfastleigh.
