About
Embark on one of the most picturesque railway journeys in England and savour a day filled with nostalgia. Having been welcomed on board by your liveried steward, sink into your comfortable seat as we travel mile upon mile through picturesque British countryside with stunning coastal views on our way to the English Riviera.
Our train will travel across the Capital and along the Thames Valley to Taunton, where we will be joined by our steam locomotive. Panoramic views unfold as we follow the estuary of the River Exe, sweeping around its mouth and travelling beside the seashore for mile upon mile.
The journey continues on the Paignton & Dartmouth Steam Railway, where our steam engine climbs high above the Devon hills before descending into the Dart Estuary at Kingswear. With the option to explore either Kingswear or Paignton, your day promises nostalgia and plenty of fresh sea air.
This trip will be steam-hauled from Taunton to Kingswear — in both directions.
