Itinerary
Excursions
Your ItineraryFULL DAY: Dartmoor National Park, Widecombe-in-the-Moor & cream tea at Buckfast Abbey
Into the wild expanse of Dartmoor National Park today, dotted with granite rocks and tors rising up from the barren bogs, heather clad moors and hidden villages. We visit Widecombe-in-the-Moor, a typical Dartmoor village, probably best known for Widecombe Fair and its associated folksong. This afternoon we include a visit and a cream tea in the resplendent Buckfast Abbey, where the community of Benedictine monks continue to live self-sufficiently, welcoming visitors and selling homemade products.
FULL DAY: House of Marbles, Newton Abbot & Teignmouth
This morning we head to one of Devon’s favourite attractions - the House of Marbles - where the site’s historic trail reveals its marble, glasswork and Bovey Pottery heritage. Then it’s on to Newton Abbot, a delightful Devon town, where it is market day. Wander through the old Butter Market or just enjoy the outdoor market in the town square. This afternoon we reach lovely Teignmouth with its two miles of promenade, sandy beaches and an attractive pier.
HALF DAY: Brixham
A half day tour to Brixham, an ancient fishing port which is still busy today, while the modern marina has yachts protected by a half mile long breakwater offering an alternative view of the town.
