None given.A Weekend on the English Riviera
Enjoy a great-value getaway to the heart of the English Riviera with this delightful weekend break in Torquay. With its palm-lined seafront, lively harbour and classic seaside charm, Torquay is the perfect base for a relaxing escape. Take time to explore the town at your leisure, from strolls along the promenade to browsing shops or enjoying a cream tea by the sea. We also include visits to the charming resorts of Dawlish and Teignmouth, both packed with coastal character. With comfortable accommodation and scenic outings, this is an easy-going escape by the beautiful Devon coast!

A Weekend on the English Riviera
We begin our day in Dawlish, a quaint and friendly resort that was once a tiny fishing village before the Victorian Railway Age transformed it into a thriving seaside town. Nestled between striking red sandstone cliffs and overlooking a sandy beach, it still has trains running right along the seafront. We then continue to Teignmouth, a handsome estuary town with a bustling harbour, elegant Georgian crescent, classic promenade and Victorian pier offering fine views across the bay.

A Weekend on the English Riviera
Our optional excursion takes us to Brixham, a lively and picturesque fishing port nestled along the English Riviera. Colourful cottages tumble down the hillside towards the harbour, where you'll find a full-sized replica of Sir Francis Drake's Golden Hind. Enjoy time to explore the winding streets, browse independent shops and arcades or simply relax with a drink while watching the boats bob in the horseshoe bay. Brixham's charm and maritime spirit make it a true coastal gem.
