Guided Tours
Join our expert resident tour guides on a revealing voyage from past glories to the present day. During the tour we will take you into the heart of the College, from the elegant Chapel, through to areas including the Quarterdeck, Parade Ground, Senior Gun Room and Britannia Heritage Museum.
Since 1863, Dartmouth and the River Dart have been the home of initial Naval Officer training in the UK. Today it is the only remaining Naval Officer College in the country, fulfilling a vital role in training Naval Officer cadets, not only from Britain, but those from the Commonwealth and all over the world.
The iconic architecture is a spectacle in itself. Designed by Sir Aston Webb, it was completed in 1905. On the tour you will discover many features and facets of life at the College, from the earliest days, through the Second World War, right up to the world class training the College delivers today.
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.
