Nearby Dartington Glass, Rosemoor Gardens   Nearby Torrington1646, Rosemoor Gardens, Great Torrington  Dartington Glass Molten glass, red-hot from the furnace, is transformed into fragile goblets, vases, jugs and many other kinds of lead crystal glassware, under the gaze of visitors in the viewing galleries of Dartington Glass. It takes as many as 11 glassblowers to shape an intricate piece, but even the simplest tumbler requires the labours of a team of six under the supervision of a master blower. Visitors can see all stages of the process, then view and buy the finished glassware. The Glass Centre includes a video theatre, a re-creation of an 18th century glass-making workshop and displays on the history of glass.

The thriving railway station fell into decline in the 1960s when the rail link was closed. On the site of the old railway station a replica station has been built, housing a visitor centre, café and restaurant and a signal box that allows observation of the varied wildlife. The site is now an RSPB reserve. Many rare species of birds are to be found here and seals are to be seen at high tide. There are permanent displays of Fremington's past, including the rare Fishley pottery, as well as regularly changing exhibitions. The quay is accessed by a resurfaced road running along the side of the estuary. A popular place for fishermen, it has a wonderful sense of isolation, with stunning views across the estuary.
