Itinerary
Tramway & Donkeys
Enjoy some free time in Seaton before a return journey to Colyton aboard the famous Seaton Tramway through the beautiful Axe Valley. En route back to the hotel, we call at the friendly Sidmouth Donkey Sanctuary, home to hundreds of rescued donkeys. You can visit The Kitchen, browse the Gift Shop, and wander the walkways around the sanctuary, providing plenty of opportunities to interact with the resident donkeys.
Gardens & Swannery
We take you to visit Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens, acclaimed by Alan Titchmarsh as "one of the finest Gardens I have ever visited." The unique micro climate enables rare and exotic species from all over the world to thrive here. We then continue to Abbotsbury Swannery - the only place in the world where you are able to walk through the heart of a colony of nesting Mute Swans.
City of Exeter
Folllowing a short break in Budleigh Salterton, we take you to the ancient city of Exeter. Pre-dating the arrival of the Romans in 50 AD, Exeter's history is rich and long and this is reflected in the fascinating visitor attractions.
