It is so unusual to find a place which hand makes quality glass pieces with the public able to watch and see how hard these guys work. The gift shop, well the store, is amazing especially at the prices. I enjoyed learning all about how the glass is developed. I would recommend going on the tour once but anymore than... More

I love dartington glass wear there are also recycled glass from dartington if you are on a tight budget there's something for everyone also the food is so tasty well worth a visit .

The large factory shop with worth browsing (which is no charge to enter) as there is some lovely stuff to look at which... More

We really enjoyed our visit to Dartington. Very child friendly - our 9 year old enjoyed painting her glass plate - pride of place in living room now. We went on the visit round the factory, which was interesting. Shop - very good. Cafe - very nice (esp cream teas).
