With its bustling harbour, exotic palm trees lining the seafront
and dramatic russetred cliffs, not to mention warmer climes,
it is easy to understand how the Victorians coined the phrase
‘the English Riviera’. With a mixture of sea breeze and steam in
the air, follow in the footsteps of the Victorians and experience
the stunning countryside and coastline on the steam train that
runs from Paignton to Kingswear before boarding the
Kingswear Castle Paddle Steamer, which is the last coalfired
paddle steamer in operation in the UK today. Enjoy a wave of
vintage nostalgia on this circular cruise as you take in the
sights of both Kingswear and Dittisham Castles and the Royal
Britannia Naval College.

On this new tour, discover England’s smallest city, the
beautiful Mendip Hills, the spectacular Cheddar Gorge and the
Somerset Coast. Enjoy a day in the wonderful city of Bath, a
protected World Heritage Site, which is full of architectural
wonders. We head to the Somerset Coast and visit Weston
superMare, a seaside resort with a fabulous beach and new
pier, before an afternoon spent at Oakham Treasures, which
will give you an uplifting trip down memory lane with its vast
and unique collection of memorabilia. Finally, we explore
Wells, England’s smallest city, on market day, followed by a
short journey to the spectacular setting of Cheddar Gorge,
home to some breathtaking caves.
For all its traditional seaside feel with the modern additions of
boutiques and restaurants, Torquay has an absolutely
fascinating wealth of history, not to mention points of
geological interest, and this tour explores this to the fullest by
transporting you back in time with perfectly suited excursions.
