Itinerary
Itinerary
Friday To the Devon coast and we make a late lunchtime stop in Dawlish, then we continue along the coast to our hotel in Babbacombe.
Saturday A scenic circular tour of Dartmoor with a short stop at Dartmeet and a lunch time stop in Tavistock. Tavistock is a thriving, beautifully friendly market town that is home of the cream tea! The vibrancy and uniqueness of Tavistock is undeniable with a range of beautiful local independent shops which are a far cry from today’s typical high street. And with its famous pannier market it is truly a shopper’s paradise.
Sunday We visit Dartmouth in its beautiful setting between steep hills and the picturesque harbour. Then a highlight of the holiday as we follow the picturesque coast road with great views of Blackpool Sands, known as nature’s golden beach with clear blue water surrounded by magnificent evergreens and pines. We also pass Slapton Sands, with its WWII tank, and Kingsbridge on a truly memorable drive. Later we stop in Totnes, a captivating town set on one of Britain’s most picturesque waterways.
Monday We return with a stop in Exmouth, which commands as wonderful position where the River Exe meets the sea.
