Itinerary
Excursions
Full Day: The Eden Project
Today we visit the impressive Eden Project, built as a global garden telling the story of man’s developing relationship with plants. The project creates three of the world’s climatic zones - our own temperate climate outside and inside, plus giant 'covered biome' conservatories for the humid and warm regions.
Half Day: Newton Abbot
Newton Abbot, a delightful historic market town, surrounded by beautiful South Devon countryside. Wander through the old Butter Market or just enjoy the outdoor market in the town square.
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.
Turkey & Tinsel Programme
