Day 1: Joining the coach from one of our convenient local joining points, we make our way to Paignton and the Palace Hotel for our 4 night stay on a dinner, bed & breakfast basis.
Day 2: After breakfast, we make our way to Buckfast to visit the 12th century Abbey and its beautiful grounds. Home to a community of Benedictine monks, Buckfast Abbey lies on the banks of the River Dart. Here, we have the chance to explore the Abbey church with its art treasures, wander the tranquil gardens or browse the gift and produce shops. We continue our day with a visit to the pretty fishing port of Brixham. Life in the busy fishing town of Brixham has always centred around its pretty harbour, where yachts and heritage trawlers jostle for space. There’s plenty to see and do here with the town’s many fish restaurants dotted around the harbour, cosy cafés and quaint old inns to help you soak up the local atmosphere.
Day 3: Today is a day spent at leisure in Paignton. The great thing about Paignton is that it is a compact resort, with the seafront, pier and town centre shops and tearooms all within close proximity.
Day 4: This morning we travel into the Teign Valley to Dawlish. This delightful town is centred around The Lawn and Brook, which is home to the famous black swans. After some time here to explore, we make the short journey to the resort of Teignmouth, a stunning coastal town with historical Georgian buildings and long sandy beaches. We cross the River Teign at Shaldon to follow the coastline to the Bygones Museum at Babbacombe. Here, we step back in time to a full sized, Victorian street, complete with authentic sights, smells and sound effects from the era. (Based in an old quirky building, Bygones is set over three floors., there are no lifts and a few steps to negotiate between floors)
Day 5: Sadly after breakfast we make our way back to Norfolk and your chosen joining point, making suitable comfort breaks along the way.
