Torquay & the Eden Project

From a morning pickup in your local area, we travel by coach to our hotel.

This morning, we enjoy time at leisure at the hotel to relax or explore the local area. In the afternoon, we head to Brixham, an attractive port with colourful fisher cottages on the surrounding hillsides. Explore the winding streets, snug with bustling arcades and gift shops. The horseshoe harbour is well worth a look too, being home to a replica of Sir Francis Drake’s ship, the Golden Hind.

Half Day

On our optional excursion, we spend some time in the charming seaside town of Dawlish. Famed for its golden sandy beach, picturesque seafront and the famous black swans that inhabit The Lawn, this traditional Devon resort is full of character. Enjoy a stroll along the promenade, browse the independent shops and cafés, or simply soak up the coastal scenery. Afterwards, we 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.

Full Day

Built into the Cornish countryside, the Eden Project is often described as the Eighth Wonder of the World. This extraordinary place offers a deep dive into the world of plants and how they shape our lives. Housed within massive Biomes, the Eden Project simulates different environmental conditions, showcasing an incredibly diverse collection of flora from around the globe. From the steamy rainforests to the fragrant Mediterranean, the Eden Project is not just a feast for the senses but also an educational journey that emphasises the importance of sustainable living and environmental conservation.

Full Day

Today, we enjoy a day at leisure to explore the charming seaside town of Torquay at your own pace. Nestled along the stunning English Riviera, Torquay offers a delightful blend of coastal beauty and elegant Victorian charm. Stroll along the palm-lined promenade, browse the boutique shops, or relax with a cream tea as you take in views of the sparkling bay. However you choose to spend the day, Torquay’s relaxed pace and sea air are sure to refresh and inspire.

Full Day

After breakfast, we check out of the hotel and board the coach for the journey home.
