Torquay Weekend

Our included half-day excursion takes us first to Dawlish, a quaint and friendly resort that was once a tiny fishing village until the Victorian Railway Age turned it into a thriving seaside town. It nestles between striking red sandstone cliffs overlooking a sandy beach, with the railway still running right alongside the seafront. We then make our way to Teignmouth, a handsome estuary town which has the benefits of a bustling harbour as well as the classic attractions of a seaside resort. It boasts an elegant Georgian crescent, promenade and Victorian pier with fine views across the bay.

On our optional excursion, we have the opportunity to spend some time at leisure in the riverside town of Dartmouth. Known as the ‘Jewel of the South Hams’ and a former home to Agatha Christie, Dartmouth is easily one of Devon's prettiest destinations thanks to its views over the estuary. Explore the pastel-coloured buildings leaning at angles and the picturesque harbour laden with yachts and pleasure boats.
