Join us for a wonderful day out with a journey through beautiful Somerset and around the stunning Devon coast with time available to discover the many charms of the ‘English Riviera’ for an afternoon sightseeing break of around three hours in the seaside resorts of either Torquay or Paignton.

Travelling alongside the stunning Exe Estuary past Powderham Castle there are magnificent views across to the Jurassic coast as our train takes the exciting sea wall line racing through tunnels and cuttings of red rock and along beaches and coves at Dawlish with the sea keeping company all the way to Newton Abbot. There is a choice of two destinations in which to relax before our return in the late afternoon.

JOURNEY

DESTINATIONS

Midland Pullman | Travel on a Luxury Train to Torquay

Torquay

One of Britain’s top tourist resorts and a jewel in the English Rivera’s crown made popular by the Victorians with sparkling white Villas perched on verdant hilltops overlooking pure sandy beaches and an azure sea it matches anything you’ll find on the French Riviera. There are beautiful gardens and a palm tree lined promenade leading to a lively harbour and international marina with an abundance of pavement cafes, pubs, shops, and quality restaurants.

Midland Pullman | Travel on a Luxury Train to Paignton

Paignton

With gorgeous long sandy blue flag beaches, paddler friendly waters, a traditional pier and seafront alive with holiday fun there is no shortage of things to do, alternatively take a steam train ride (payable locally) along one of the most idyllic stretches of coastline in the country and through the woodland estate once owned by Agatha Christie to the riverside station at Kingswear where it’s a short ferry crossing to historic Dartmouth.
