Torquay - 14th - 19th July

Torquay

English Riviera and South Devon Explorer

14^th – 19^th July

Always a top destination, Torquay, often referred to the “Queen of the English Riviera” is our base for our summer tour that explores both South and East Devon coastlines, including heritage journeys and visits exploring the very best this region has to offer.

Whilst on Tour, the following programme includes;

• Travelling into East Devon, visiting the regency coastal town of Sidmouth, nestled beneath majestic red cliffs and the glorious Sid Valley. We continue along the coast to Seaton to include a ride aboard the Seaton Tramway travelling alongside the picturesque river axe through two nature reserves and giving an unrivalled view of the abundant bird life. 

• A free day at leisure. May be visit the neighbouring resorts of Paignton and Brixham, or Cockington, a quintessentially English village famous for its thatched cottages.

• Visit to Plymouth. Located at the mouth of the River Tamar, Plymouth is an historic port with a wealth of attractions to visit including the Barbican area. The city also boasts excellent shopping from the pedestrianised city centre. We also include a scenic river cruise as we sail across Plymouth Sound flanked by the beautiful Devon and Cornwall coast passing famous landmarks including Plymouth Hoe and Drake's Island. 

• A trip aboard the Dartmouth Steam Railway with unrivalled views across Torbay, along with the ferry crossing with free time in Dartmouth. Later we visit Totnes, a gem of a town next to the river Dart, devoting itself to arts and crafts, history and architecture. Here you will uncover bustling, narrow streets filled with a friendly mix of individual specialist shops.
