Premier Torquay - The English Riviera

Premier Torquay - The English Riviera

Torquay is often called ‘The Queen of the English Riviera’ with a style of its own and has an international flavour as distinct as Cannes. The palm trees and other exotic tropical plants and flowers, the busy harbour and rolling green countryside give Torquay a special atmosphere. With theatres and lively shows there is something for everyone in Torquay. Our tour includes a visit to Powderham Castle.

Your Itinerary

Monday 10th: We travel south via the motorways and check-in to the Belgrave Sands Hotel where tea, coffee and biscuits will be served on arrival.

Tuesday 11th: We leave after breakfast and visit Powderham Castle. Over 600 years of history can be discovered within the walls of one of Devon’s oldest family homes. It has remained in the family to this day and recently became home to the new Earl & Countess of Devon, the 28th generation to move in. This afternoon we spend time in the Roman walled city of Exeter exploring its attractions which include the Royal Albert Memorial Museum, magnificent Cathedral, imposing Roman wall and beautiful quayside.

Wednesday 12th: A half day tour to Totnes. The ancient borough of Totnes enjoys a prominent position above the River Dart. The town is one of Devon’s gems; full of both colour and character that stems from a rich cultural, historically and archaeological heritage. The town is an architectural feast to those interested in historic buildings – with fine examples of properties dating back to Norman, Medieval and Tudor times. Browse amongst the delightful shops for arts, crafts and unusual gifts.
