DEPARTING FROM

  • Penzance,
  • St Erth,
  • Redruth,
  • Truro,
  • St Austell,
  • Bodmin Parkway

We are pleased to offer a memorable day tour recreating one of the great holiday excursions of the golden age of railway travel with a journey over Brunel’s iconic Royal Albert Bridge, through Devon and onto the preserved Paignton to Dartmouth Railway with time to discover the many charms of the ‘Torbay Riviera’ with an afternoon break in picturesque Dartmouth.

We travel through maritime Plymouth and over the steeply graded Devon Banks offering views of Dartmoor and through Totnes to Newton Abbot, where the train reverses and takes the scenic coastal line through Torquay with views across to the Jurassic coast. At Paignton we join the preserved heritage line and travel through the woodland estate once owned by Agatha Christie then alongside the beautiful River Dart and into the riverside terminus at Kingswear, where it is a short crossing on the ferry (price included) to the historic and romantic port of Dartmouth for a three-hour afternoon break.

There are antique shops, art galleries and cafes to explore – perhaps take a leisurely cruise onboard the last remaining coal fired paddle steamer ‘Kingswear Castle’. Following time to enjoy the beauty, splendour, and tranquillity of this picturesque town our train returns in the late afternoon along the famous sea wall at Dawlish as the sea keeps company with the train past Powderham Castle with views across the estuary to Exmouth.

Mobility – This tour may not be suitable for guests requiring the use of a wheelchair or with severe mobility issues.
