After pickups we travel to Babbacombe for our stay at the Anchorage Hotel.

Visit to the lovely maritime city of Plymouth.

With its seafront lido, busy international port, and waterfront Barbican district, Plymouth’s maritime heritage takes centre stage, but head inland and the numerous museums, shopping malls, and arts venues reveal why it’s earned the title of Devon’s cultural capital.

Dive into the depths of Plymouth’s National Marine Aquarium, be immersed in the wonders of the National Marine Park and stroll through the cobbled streets of its picturesque old port, the Barbican.

We also include a harbour cruise to get a glimpse of Plymouth from the sea.

 
 
Today we enjoy a picturesque steam train ride from Paignton to Kingswear.

The journey from Paignton to Kingswear is almost 7 miles long and starts from Queen’s Park station. It travels through Goodrington Sands and Churston stations before arriving at Kingswear. The journey may not be long but it is certainly picturesque, as it passes Goodrington Beach, travels over Broadsands viaduct and follows alongside the River Dart before reaching its destination.

In the afternoon we head to the lovely town of Brixham for free time. A must while in Brixham is to visit the Golden Hind ship replica! Also discover the bustling harbour and fish market and make sure to visit the Brixham Heritage Museum to learn about the town's past.
Today we have a day at leisure in Babbacombe.

The main draw is the beach but other activities include tennis, bowls, golf, putting and swimming are all available in the small resort. Babbacombe has attractive gardens, a theatre, shops, restaurants and cafés plus the Babbacombe Downs cliff top promenade, which is the highest promenade in the country and part of the South West Coastal Path.

The small, sheltered beach, Oddicombe is popular for fishing, although access is quite steep. To make the journey down 240 feet down to the beach it is possible to travel on the Babbacombe Cliff Railway, which has been operating for almost eighty years. 

Also, don't miss Babbacombe Model Village which has been open since 1963 and is a popular local tourist attraction. It now has some indoor displays making it an all weather attraction.
We leave the hotel after breakfast and travel home.
