Holiday Summary

Torquay is one of Britain's most famous resorts, situated at the heart of 22 miles of unspoilt coastline, often referred to as the "English Riviera". It has a mild climate, sparkling blue waters and in its beautiful public gardens you will see subtropical plants and palm trees. Torquay has something to offer everyone: by day you can relax on one of the clean sandy beaches, explore the bustling harbour and marina and the excellent shops or if you are feeling more active there are lovely walks, or activities such as sailing, bowls, golf or fishing. By night you'll be spoilt for choice: there are theatres, night clubs, cabarets and discothèques and of course you'll see the lights illuminating the promenade reflected across the beautiful bay. The many local attractions include Paignton Zoo, Babbacombe Model Village, Kent's Cavern, Torbay Steam Railway and Cockington thatched village.

Itinerary
Day 1 - Outward Travel
Day 2 - Dartmouth & Brixham
The River Dart has shaped historic Dartmouth and much of life centres on or around the waterway that runs through the town. Enjoy free time to explore before we make our way to Brixham where yachts and fishing boats bob in the waters of the pretty harbour. Why not enjoy some of the freshest seafood to be found in the many cafes and restaurants before we follow the curving esplanade of the English Riviera as we return to Torquay./n
Day 3 - Day at Leisure
Day 4 - Exmouth & Sidmouth
One of the oldest and most picturesque seaside towns in Devon, Exmouth is the gateway to the Jurassic Coast. Enjoy a stroll along the beautiful beach, explore the bustle of the indoor market or perhaps follow the Blue Plaque Heritage trail to explore some of the stunning architecture the town has to offer. We will also visit Sidmouth which is a seaside town like no other. The buildings along the seafront come to a dramatic stop where the magnificent cliffs of the Jurassic Coast tower over the beach. Beautiful gardens, leisurely walks, clean beaches and Regency history combine where you can enjoy doing everything or nothing at all!/n
