Affectionately known as the “Jewel in the Crown of the English Riviera,” Babbacombe offers the ideal setting for a truly relaxing escape. Perched high above the sparkling blue waters of Lyme Bay, this charming coastal village combines traditional seaside appeal with breathtaking natural beauty. Travel along the Riviera Line, one of England’s most scenic rail journeys. As the train winds its way from Exeter to Torquay, it hugs the dramatic South Devon coastline, offering unforgettable views, especially along the iconic sea wall where waves often dance just inches from your window. Whether you're soaking in the sea air, exploring quaint shops and cafés, or simply admiring the views, Babbacombe is the perfect place to slow down and unwind.

Itinerary

Day 1. Monday We travel to Babbacombe.

Day 2. Tuesday Following breakfast, we include an excursion to Buckfastleigh & Totnes. With a touch of mystery surrounding it, you will discover that Buckfastleigh is one of the most diverse towns in South Devon. The town is dominated by the Benedictine Buckfast Abbey. Dating back to 907 AD, Totnes is a fascinating historical town which combines stunning countryside with independent shopping, local food and drink and interesting attractions on the banks of the River Dart. 

Day 3. Wednesday Today we enjoy a visit to Exeter and a journey on the Riviera Line. The Riviera Line runs along the South Devon coast between Exeter and Paignton. Travelling down two river estuaries and past dramatic cliffs and sweeping along the sea wall, the railway offers spectacular views of the River Exe estuary and English Channel coastline, as it makes its way to bustling Exeter. A small city that packs a big punch, Exeter is one of the most vibrant, attractive, and historically interesting cities in England.

Day 4. Thursday Enjoy a day at leisure or we may offer an optional excursion (charge applicable). Your driver will provide you with further information.

Day 5. Friday We depart and return home.

Excursion days are subject to change and will be confirmed with your final travel documents.
