Itinerary
Excursions
Full Day: Exeter
We head for the Roman city of Exeter, one of the oldest cities in England, founded over 2,000 years ago and a joy to explore.
Half Day: Dartmouth
A half day excursion to Dartmouth, the beautiful town situated on the banks of the picturesque River Dart, with its charming historic streets, scenic river location and surrounded by South Devon countryside.
Half Day: Brixham
A half day excursion to the busy fishing port of Brixham, where life has always been centred around the harbour. Here yachts and trawlers jostle for space with the many day boats heading out to sea for the day’s catch.
