Paignton, Torquay and English Riviera

Local departure by coach or Home Connect service then on to Paignton for a seven-night stay.

Enjoy an included excursion to the maritime city of Plymouth. From the historic Barbican area, we take a delightful harbour cruise to soak up the sights.

We then return to Paignton via a relaxing drive through the magnificent scenery of Dartmoor National Park. Stopping at Princetown – the highest town on the Moor – we enjoy a delicious Devonshire cream tea.

Enjoy a day at leisure in charming Paignton with its traditional seaside delights, level seafront and charming coastal delights.

Alternatively, why not join our optional excursion to the cathedral city of Exeter which boasts rich history, quaint cobbled streets and plenty of shops. The wonderful cathedral is the focal point of the city.

We enjoy a tour of delightful Torbay, travelling through Babbacombe to reach Torquay – the English Riviera’s premier resort. Lying at the heart of unspoilt coastline and exotic greenery, Torquay is a lively town and home to plenty of seaside attractions and a stylish marina.

Enjoy a day at leisure in Paignton and explore at your own pace. Perhaps take a stroll along the pier, visit Paignton Zoo or simply relax on the sandy beach.

Originally a Celtic settlement, Paignton was a fishing village right up to the 19th century when the harbour was built. The arrival of the railway in 1859 brought the crowds of visitors and the town quickly became a holiday destination for the Victorians.

Relax in Paignton, or join our optional excursion to seafaring Dartmouth and Salcombe, one of the prettiest towns in South Devon and located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The town of Salcombe is lined with boutiques, shops and independent producers, as well as local art galleries and gift shops.

We enjoy a trip to Georgian Teignmouth, which is a traditional seaside resort with a classic Victorian pier, before visiting pretty Dawlish with its wonderful golden sand beach.

We then head to the popular attraction, Babbacombe Model Village. Marvel at the miniature creations that capture the imagination, and a healthy dose of British humour really brings the village to life.

Return home.
