Your Itinerary

Visit the peaceful and historic Buckfast Abbey, a working Benedictine monastery nestled on the edge of Dartmoor. Surrounded by beautiful gardens and tranquil grounds, the abbey invites quiet reflection, with its stunning church, monastic buildings, and a gift shop featuring local crafts and produce.

Enjoy a nostalgic return journey on the South Devon Railway from the characterful town of Totnes. Aboard a heritage steam train, travel along the scenic Dart Valley, taking in riverside views and rolling countryside as you experience a charming piece of Devon’s transport history. (Entrance included).

Spend time in Plymouth, a vibrant waterfront city steeped in maritime heritage. Explore the historic Barbican and Plymouth Hoe, or choose to take a boat cruise on Plymouth Sound, offering panoramic views of the coastline and insights into the city’s naval past from the water.

Round off your adventure in the relaxed coastal town of Exmouth, where sandy beaches, sea breezes, and a laid-back atmosphere make for a refreshing visit. Whether enjoying a stroll along the promenade or taking in the ocean views, it’s a classic slice of Devon seaside life.

Enjoy a free day to explore what the seaside town of Torquay has to offer.
