Paignton Steam Railway to Kingswear:
Paignton Steam Railway is on the former Great Western branch line which takes us along the coast past Goodrington Sands and alongside the River Dart Estuary, past Churston and through the wooded slopes bordering the Dart estuary and on to Kingswear.
Ferry crossing to Dartmouth and River Dart Cruise:
Dartmouth was once prosperous port, whose naval tradition goes back to medieval times, is nowadays a haven for yachts and pleasure boats that congregate on the River Dart Estuary and on this holiday we include a trip on the River Dart where you can sit back and enjoy the wonderful scenery – wooded slopes, secret creeks and enviable houses dotted along the banks of the River Dart.
South Devon Railway:
The South Devon Railway is a seven mile former Great Western Railway branch line, built in 1872, which runs along the stunning valley of the River Dart between Buckfastleigh.
Plymouth:
Plymouth is also know as Britain's Ocean City as it was the westernmost principal port, it is now home to breath-taking views. Head to the inner harbour to view passing boats or make for the Mayflower Steps where in 1620 the famous Pilgrim community boarded the Mayflower for their journey to the New World. Take a cruise out to Plymouth Sound, past the Hoe and famous Drakes Island to the River Tamar where warships can often be seen at anchor.
Dartmoor National Park:
Dartmoor National Park is dotted with granite rocks and tors rising up from the barren bogs, heather clad moors and hidden villages. We visit Idecombe-in-the-Moor, a typical Dartmoor village, probably best known for Widecombe Fair and its associated folksong. Here trails wind through valleys with Neolithic tombs, Bronze Age stone circles and abandoned medieval farmhouses.
