Torquay for August Bank Holiday Break

• Coach travel
• Three night stay at the Riviera Hotel with evening meals & breakfast
• Excursions as outlined in the itinerary

Get away with us for a long Bank Holiday weekend as we travel to the English Riviera!

Day One
Leaving South Wales we head South West, taking a lunchtime break in Taunton, the capital of Somerset. With plenty of places to grab a bite to eat and great shopping too, it’s a charming stopover.

Leaving Taunton it’s just over an hour to the Riviera Hotel in Torquay. Situated just 200yds from the seafront this basic yet welcoming seaside hotel will treat you to three night stay with carvery evening meal, accommodation and full English breakfast each morning. The hotel also boasts it’s very own cabaret bar for the adults and an indoor swimming pool too.

Torquay itself has lots to offer . The beach is a short walk away and the marina, along with the glorious yachts, has speedboat rides and a ferry taking you to Brixham too…and for not a lot of money! The marina is also lined with cafe bars , and if the sun is shining then you can just kick back with a cuppa or something cooler!

The town boasts many of the traditional shops and with the land train right outside the hotel , it’s really easy to see it all, even if you don’t fancy the walk!

Day Two – Plymouth
If you’d like to join then today we’ll take you to the ocean city of Plymouth. In the morning we’ll stop off at the Barbican area, home of the Mayflower steps, shops and restaurants, and on Plymouth Hoe there’s a beautiful green where you can watch the ships roll in. The other part of town has a more modern feel. The Drakes Shopping Centre is the latest retail spot, but if that’s not your thing then enjoy the Barbican for the rest of your day.

Day Three – Free in Torquay
As mentioned there’s lots to do, the day is yours to spend at leisure as you wish. For ideas & inspiration take a look at the English Riviera website: https://www.englishriviera.co.uk/explore/the-english-riviera/torquay

Day Four
Time to bid farewell to Devon, but if the weather is kind then it’s Weston-super-Mare on the way home, so that you can enjoy one last look at the seaside before we cross the bridge and back to Wales.
