South Devon
South Devon Railway & Brixham. Closed to passengers in 1958 but thankfully preserved by vounteers as a heritage railway, the South Devon Railway runs for 6 and half miles between the charming stations of Totnes and Buckfasteigh through tranquil woodlands alongside the River Dart. We'll have time for you to visit the railways's small museum, if you wish, before heading for the coast for free time in Brixham.
Dartmouth Steam
The Paignton & Dartmouth Steam Railway. Similar in length to the South Devon Railway, but so different in terms of scenery, the Dartmouth Steam Railway rose from the ashes of a line closed in 1968. Its hard to believe now that this experience could have been lost forever. Leaving Paignton there are incredible coastal views to the left, particularly around Goodrington Sands, with its colourful beach huts. Around halfway through the journey focus switches to the right with boats bobbing in the Dart Estuary and Dartmouth in the distance. A short ferry takes us across to Dartmouth, where we enjoy a boat trip on the River Dart.
