Coach Itinerary

Included Excursion

Dawlish & Teignmouth (half day)
On today’s outing, we visit two classic seaside destinations, stopping first at the traditional town of Dawlish. This popular tourist hot spot sits between Permian red sandstone cliffs at the mouth of the Exe Estuary and started life as a small fishing port. Now the town thrives and has many activities to enjoy including a range of amusements, family attractions and places to eat and drink.

Next, we travel a short distance along the coast to where the River Teign meets the sea. There, we will find tucked below the Haldon hills, the delightful town of Teignmouth. There is plenty to see and enjoy including a beautiful long sandy beach, a busy harbour, a host of charming Georgian buildings, and the picturesque 150-year-old Victorian ‘Grand Pier’.

Optional Excursion

Dartmouth– £8pp (half day)

On our optional excursion, we travel to the beautiful town of Dartmouth. Known as the ‘Jewel of the South Hams’ and former home to Agatha Christie, Dartmouth is easily one of Devon's prettiest destinations thanks to its views over the estuary. Explore the pastel-coloured buildings leaning at angles and the busy harbour laden with yachts and pleasure boats.
