The most glamorous of
all West Country resorts,Torquay overflows with vitality and
places of interest.The town has a unique international flavour
and the palm trees, the bustling harbour with its luxury yachts,
and the elegant street facades give it an almost Mediterranean
feel. By night the theatres stage star-studded shows during
the season, and by day there is a wealth of things to do and
see - golden beaches, excellent shopping, colourful gardens,
and nearby attractions including Paignton Zoo, Cockington,
Babbacombe Model Village and Kent’s Cavern.
The Beautiful
English Riviera - Your Excursions
FULL
DAY Into
Cornwall today to reach Looe, a fishing port and holiday resort
set astride the picturesque Looe River. There is a small sandy
beach, and narrow crooked streets beside the riverside quays.
In the afternoon to Devon’s premier city of Plymouth, which
is a fascinating combination of modern shopping streets, an
old Elizabethan district called the Barbican, and the grassy
esplanade of The Hoe, which has panoramic views of Plymouth
Sound towards the sea.
FULL DAY Our full
day tour begins with the drive to Exeter. This historic city
lays claim to being one of the oldest cities in England, founded
by the Romans some 2,000 years ago. There is plenty of time
during our visit to explore the many museums, the excellent
shopping centre, the magnificent cathedral, or just to wander
through the winding lanes. In the afternoon we follow the
River Exe to the charming resort of Dawlish, famous for its
lovely 19th century ‘Lawn’. Our final visit is lovely Teignmouth,
with its two miles of seafront promenade.
HALF DAY To the once prosperous
port town of Dartmouth, a town
whose naval tradition goes back to
medieval times when the port was
one of the busiest in England.
Nowadays the harbour is filled with
yachts and pleasure boats, with
appealing streets winding down to
the Dart Estuary.
