English Riviera Weekend

Itinerary

Description

There’s nothing like a blast of sea air to rejuvenate and relax, especially on the beautiful south coast of England. This lovely weekend break is centred on the charming English Riviera, a section of Devonian coastline dotted with idyllic seaside resorts, unspoilt coves and picture-postcard towns. We visit some of these delightful towns from our base in the traditional resort of Torquay

Coach Itinerary

Dawlish & Teignmouth (half day)

Our included half-day excursion takes us first to Dawlish, a quaint and friendly resort that was once a tiny fishing village until the Victorian Railway age turned it into a thriving seaside town. It nestles between striking red sandstone cliffs overlooking a sandy beach, with the railway still running right alongside the seafront. We then make our way to Teignmouth, a handsome estuary town which has the benefits of a bustling harbour as well as the classic attractions of a seaside resort. It boasts an elegant Georgian crescent, promenade and Victorian pier with fine views across the bay.

Optional Excursion

Brixham & Paignton – £9pp (half day)

Why not join us for an optional half-day excursion to Brixham and Paignton? We head first to Brixham, a pretty fishing port with a bustling waterside fringed by colourful houses on the surrounding hillsides. The harbour is also home to a replica of Sir Francis Drake’s ship, the Golden Hind. We then spend some time in Paignton with its long, sandy beaches, lively seafront and fantastic views across Torbay.
