Dartmouth is a beautiful historic town situated on the west bank of the stunning River Dart in an area of outstanding natural beauty. Whilst here, we enjoy a circular cruise, sailing the lower part of the River Dart viewing the castles at the estuary, Britannia Royal Naval College, and towards Agatha Christie’s Greenway Estate. We also visit Totnes, dating back to 970AD, a unique and charming town with an excellent range of small independent shops and many historic buildings lining the streets.
Exmouth is one of the oldest and most picturesque seaside towns in Devon. We include a cruise on the River Exe, during which our skipper will give a live commentary on the history of the area, the beautiful sights and the resident and visiting wildlife.
Bicton Park Botanical Gardens are set over 64 acres to explore and is home to many rare and beautiful species collected from around the world. Later, we visit the quaint historic estuary port of Topsham, with its cosmopolitan atmosphere and eclectic cluster of specialist shops and fine restaurants.
Brixham is a quintessential English harbour town, but it isn’t just about fishing. It is still one of the busiest fishing ports in the UK and is a working town, but it is also a place where you can discover a range of arts and culture, excellent local food, and some unique attractions. Brixham is fast becoming a cultural hub of Devon, with fantastic art murals covering many of the buildings throughout the town. Can you find the angel wings, the pirate map and the Leaning Tower of Pisa? With over 10 beautiful and huge murals to find throughout the town, it will keep you busy! On our way back to Torquay, we make a stop at Paignton for a delicious Cream Tea at the Palace Hotel.
