**NEW** Outstanding value first stay at The Nethway Hotel. Great position in town - family run and just received TripAdvisor Travellers' Choice Award!!
Blessed with a balmy climate and famous for its palm trees, it's easy to see why Torquay has attracted visitors since Victorian times. There is stunning scenery along the coast road and historic towns are dotted throughout the region. The traditional harbour and stylish Princess Pier marina area offer the town a continental atmosphere, with a growing selection of eateries to sample. Stroll along the attractive waterfront esplanade to the new Abbey Crescent leisure development and enjoy a drink overlooking Torbay. It is certainly worth exploring the newly refurbished Illuminated Royal Terrace Gardens with wonderful views from the top.
DAY 1
After being collected from your local pick up point around 8.30/9.45am we have comfort stops as required before arriving at the hotel mid afternoon. Settle in to your room and maybe take a stroll before dinner. Relax in the lounge bar after or stroll in to town.
DAY 2
In the morning we head off to explore the area. Heading first to the famous fishing port of Brixham. It’s still one of the busiest fishing ports in the UK, and a nice place to stroll around for a couple of hours. We head on to Dartmouth. Discover wonderful countryside before we arrive in this beautiful historic town. Home to the famous Naval College which stands guarding the town but with a maritime history which spans much further back in to history including links to Sir Francis Drake & The Pilgrim fathers. So much to see here with narrow streets lined with interesting shops, galleries, restaurants and pubs or you may like to take a boat trip along the river.
DAY 3
A relaxing day today. Free for you to explore the town on your own. Stroll in to town - the seafront is a 15 minute walk away - or just hop on the bus outside the hotel. Subject to availability, the hotel will arrange for an optional trip to the highly regarded Babbacombe Theatre for the evening show - extra charge for those who want to go.
DAY 4
In the morning we head for Plymouth where we are met by our excellent guide for a coach tour of the city and learn of the amazing maritime history. Free time after to explore – don’t miss the lovely waterfront area. Returning to the hotel mid afternoon to enjoy the surroundings.
DAY 5
We head home with a stop for lunch before arriving back to your local drop off point around 3.00pm.
