Tour Overview

From our base in Torquay – the premier resort of the English Riviera – we discover the elegant town of Sidmouth, which is a fine Regency town where so many of the period town houses remain intact as they were in the 19th century. Take in even more of this spectacular region with our excursions to picturesque Brixham and charming Kingswear. Why not join our optional excursions to Plymouth and Dartmoor and tick even more destinations off your list?
