Type: Steam Railway

Paignton & Dartmouth Steam Railway is the holiday line, with steam trains running for 7 miles in Great Western tradition from Paignton along the spectacular Torbay coast to Churston and on through the wooded slopes bordering the Dart estuary to Kingswear. The scenery is superb, with seascapes right across Lyme bay to Portland Bill on clear days.

It's your choice; travel Torbay's spectacular coast and the beautiful River Dart by steam train from Paignton to Kingswear, then on to Dartmouth by passenger ferry. Combine this with a circular river cruise on our Boat Train service, or cruise up-river to Totnes and take our open-top bus back to Paignton for a complete day out on the Round Robin service.
