The Enchanting River Dart

Mounted One sheet, The Enchanting River Dart is a vintage British Railways travel poster from 1961, created by artist C. King, to promote rail services to Devon, England. The poster depicts a scenic view of the River Dart, which flows from Dartmoor to the English Channel at Dartmouth. The image shows a paddle steamer on the water, a common sight on the river until the late 1960s. The River Dart is a popular destination for tourists and outdoor enthusiasts, offering activities such as kayaking, canoeing, hiking, and sailing. The river's estuary is a large coastal inlet known for its dramatic cliffs and historic castles on either side at its mouth.
