7. Britannia Royal Naval College
Overall Ratings

BRNC should be a key ingredient to any visit to the West Country. Tours of this iconic building will offer an informative narrative allowing you to appreciate the rich history, role and relevance of this building and the naval training conducted here today, providing you with a quality, value for money, informative visit. Public Tours start from a convenient pick-up point in Dartmouth town. In a manageable group size, you will be taken to the College by coach for a walking tour, which lasts approximately 2 1/4 hours.

Book well ahead, you meet in Dartmouth near the sea front then get a bus up to the college.
Take some water, there is little time for water or sustenance.
I would say disabled access is difficult. There is a lot of walking due to the nature of the tour, and the bus steps are quite steep. The guide did facilitate a chair for my elderly mother, but it is a tour for the fleet afoot.
Excellent stories and guiding made the trip, so many nuggets of interesting facts - but I am a sailor for pleasure so it was all very interesting for me. I love the fact the land for the grand building was the first real compulsory purchase on record from the family of sir Walter Raleigh ........off with his head !
The place was rammed with student cadets, which made it very real.
Recommended.
