Torquay, Cruise and Cream Tea

Local departure by coach or Home Connect service, then on to the Torbay Hotel, Torquay for four nights.

Excursion to maritime Plymouth where we visit the historic Barbican and take a delightful harbour cruise. Departing from the Mayflower Steps, this is a relaxing and informative way to see the sights including Plymouth Hoe, Drake's Island and the spectacular views of Mount Edgcumbe.

Back on dry land, we take a trip to Princetown where a delicious cream tea is waiting. As the regional dish of Devon, there are many customs as to how a Devonshire cream tea should be devoured, yet no matter the time or how it's eaten, it's an absolute Devon must!

Relax with a day at leisure in seaside Torquay. The attractions, harbour and shops are only a short stroll away, or perhaps you'd like to follow the Agatha Christie Mile – a walking trail that takes you to some of the places associated with the famous crime author.

Alternatively, why not join our optional excursion to Teignmouth, a pretty Georgian town set against the backdrop of the Dartmoor Hills? With a glorious sandy beach, historic pier and bustling town centre, there is plenty to see and do.

Today we enjoy a scenic coastal drive around beautiful Torbay, where each quaint resort has its own unique charm and character.

Torbay lies at the heart of the English Riviera – a 22-mile stretch of outstanding coastline consisting of rocky coves, warm weather and seaside resorts. Along the way we travel through Babbacombe and Paignton, before making our way to the fishing town of Brixham.
