English Riviera Spring Walking Festival
On 4th May 2024 to 19th May 2024
Located in South Devon and (the towns of Torquay, Paignton and Brixham) The English Riviera is a walker’s paradise. It has a very sheltered position, mild climate and numerous walking trails through woodlands, along winding coastal paths and hidden tracks. It provides the perfect destination for walkers of all abilities.
The South West Coastal Path meanders along this coastline and also holds the accolade for being an UNESCO Geopark. There are 140 Geoparks in the World and Torbay is the only seaside resort with this status.
This Walking Festival (in its second year) offers a mix of walks and talks that will entertain and inform in equal measure. The walks are hosted by experienced tour guides, but the web site also contains a selection of self-guided walks which you can enjoy at your own leisure.
Reviews
- Great little railway - You’re given allocated seats with your family bubble and it's all very secure. The carriages have had Perspex screens installed. All staff were friendly and helpful. We got some lovely pictures from the train.
- Atmospheric steam train - We took the steam train from Paignton to Kingswear and then the ferry to Dartmouth (inc in the ticket). It was a trip back in time and most enjoyable, despite the very rainy weather! Good value for money.
- Trip back in time - What a fantastic experience. The train ride from Paignton is a gentle trip with stunning views. Arriving in Kingswear you can almost imagine how people in days gone by must have felt. A short ferry ride takes you into Dartmouth which is a stunning little town.
