Day 1. Welcome to Sidmouth
We pick you up from your door and journey to Sidmouth. Glass of mulled wine and a mince pie. Entertainment.
Day 2. Exe Estuary Cruise
We travel to the delightful resort of Exmouth. In the afternoon, we take a cruise in the calm waters of the Exe Estuary, with an entertaining commentary. We pass Cockwood, Starcross and Powderham Castle, returning with marvellous views of Exmouth.
Day 3. Torquay
Torquay is full of surprises with its magnificent horseshoe-shaped bay, swaying palm trees, elegant Victorian villas, pretty marina, sweeping sandy beach and its fascinating Agatha Christie connections. The Victorians coined the term English Riviera, by then well established as a fashionable holiday destination, and the very first promotional guide was launched over 100 years ago! The coach will set down and pick up in a central location.
Day 4. Day at leisure in Sidmouth
Described by John Betjeman as 'A town caught still in a timeless charm’, this pleasant traditional seaside resort which has been popular since Regency times. Beautiful gardens and leisurely walks, clean beaches and friendly shops…. it’s all here in this lovely seaside town that nestles beneath majestic red cliffs and the green hills of the glorious Sid Valley. Entertainment.
Day 5. Homeward Journey
Sadly, we wave goodbye to our hosts at the Royal York and Faulkner, arriving late afternoon for our taxis home.
