PAIGNTON - The English Riviera
From
£215
Famous for its long sandy beaches, level promenade and colourful pier, Paignton lies on England’s beautiful
English Riviera on Devon’s southern coast. After the arrival of the railway this fishing village was transformed and
became a favourite retreat for the Victorians. The long and flat seafront esplanade offers lovely views across
Torbay with leisure facilities for the visitor. The town has some lovely public gardens and good shopping with an
abundance of cafes and restaurants.
With your free time you may like to visit the excellent Paignton Zoo on the outskirts of town or catch a bus along
the coast road to the neighbouring towns of Torquay or Brixham. For those who like to explore, Paignton lies on
the fantastic South West Coast Path with a chance to enjoy a coastal stroll and catch a bus back to the comfort of
the hotel! Plenty of lovely excursion destinations in the area.
First Day After being collected from your local pick up point around 8.30/9.30am we have a comfort stop on route
and a break for lunch before arriving at the hotel mid afternoon.
Last Day We head home in the morning and have a stop for lunch on route before arriving back in the local area
around 3.00/4.00pm.
Excursion A
Today we have an excursion to Dartmouth. Discover wonderful countryside before we arrive in this beautiful
historic town. 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.
Excursion B
A memorable excursion today. We have included a return journey on the Paignton & Dartmouth
Steam Railway plus Ferry to Dartmouth. The station in Paignton is a 10 minute level walk form the hotel. We
shall board the train for a fantastic nostalgic trip through the wonderful Devon countryside to Kingswear, where
you board the short ferry crossing over the River Dart estuary to Dartmouth. Plenty of time in this lovely town (one
of our favourites!) and home to the famous Naval College, before taking the boat back across to join the return
train journey to Paignton. Lovely day out.
3* Palace Hotel
Originally the home of Issac Merrit Singer,
the inventor of the Singer sewing machine,
the elegant Palace Hotel occupies a prime
seafront location near the pier on the level
esplanade and a short walk to the shopping
area.
There is a stylish restaurant with a wonderful
outlook across the bay where you will be
served a 3 course evening meal with choice
of menu.
Other facilities include a leisure centre with
large indoor swimming pool. All 54
bedrooms are comfortably furnished with ensuite
bathrooms and have colour TV,
hairdryer and tea/coffee making. Lift.

In the morning we head along the coast to Brixham. This authentic fishing port, home to the famous Brixham
Trawler oozes history. A lovely destination to stroll around and enjoy the bustling atmosphere. Returning to
Paignton at lunchtime.
Excursion D
In the morning we shall head off for a visit to the lovely Market town of Totnes. It’s a great town to explore with a
bustling atmosphere and an array of interesting independent shops to explore. On our return we shall have a stop
