Paignton to Dartmouth Steam Train
Chug to the coast on a vintage locomotive
One of the southwest’s best rail journeys, the Paignton to Dartmouth Steam Train puffs from seaside Torbay to the tranquil banks of the River Dart. The lovingly-restored locomotives haul a 1917 Devon Belle Observation Carriage.
The journey edges the shores of Tor Bay, passing the beaches at Goodrington and Broad Sands. Then it’s into woodland before emerging beside the beautiful River Dart, to steam into the pretty village of Kingswear.
Your ticket then includes a 10 minute trip on a passenger ferry over to the charismatic port of Dartmouth on the opposite riverbank.
