D-Day landing craft maintenance site on the River Dart immediately to the south of Lower Noss Point is a Second World War military installation dating to 1944. The site comprises the remains of facilities constructed to service and maintain amphibious landing craft in preparation for and during Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of Normandy. Located on the Devon coast, the River Dart provided a sheltered anchorage suitable for the concentrated naval and amphibious operations that characterised the build-up to D-Day. The site represents the substantial infrastructure required to sustain the largest amphibious invasion in history, with the maintenance facilities supporting the movement of personnel and equipment through this strategically important English harbour.
