* Dartmouth Castle and Sugary Cove was closed by the local authority after the bathing season had started for repairs to a footpath, and the Environment Agency was unable to gather enough samples to assess bathing water quality in line with Directive requirements. It has therefore not been possible to give an annual result or projected classification for this site. Archived
