Dartmouth Lower Ferry, is a vehicular and passenger ferry crossing the River Dart between Kingswear and Dartmouth, Devon, UK. The crossing offers lovely views of Dartmouth, Kingswear, Britannia Royal Naval College, Dartmouth Castle and the open sea.

• The Ferry is operated using a floating platform pushed along by a tug carrying up to 8 cars. When traffic demands increase, there are two ferry/tugs used at the same time.
• The 630-mile (1,010 km) long South West Coast Path crosses the Dart on either the Lower or Passenger ferries.
