Note

** PLEASE NOTE ** Acklams Coaches Ltd. reserve the right to amend the itinerary should the circumstances dictate **

Day 1

Your holiday starts with a pick up from home by one of the vehicles from our Door-to-Door service, which will bring you through to meet our coach. Once everyone is on board, we wil make our way to Teignmouth, making suitable stops en route.

Day 2

There's no better way to see UNESCO's Jurassic Coast than from the water. This circular 2-3 hour cruise sails out from Exmouth and along the oldest section of the Site, known as the Triassic Era. Sit back, relax and take in the most stunning views of this 185-million-year-old geological portrait. The afternoon is spent in nearby Budleigh Salterton - one of Devon's most unspoilt seaside towns, with two miles of beach, an array of shops and seafront cafes.

Day 3

You will have the morning free to relax in the hotel with its leisure facilities or take the ten-minute walk to explore Teignmouth with its attractive town centre, promenade, pier and sandy beach. We will then have an afternoon drive along the Riviera coast to Torquay and Paignton.

Day 4

A great day awaits along the Jurassic coastal road. The first stop is Sidmouth - dominated by its sandstone cliffs. Then, free time in Lyme Regis, a historic coastal town, surrounded by its natural beauty is a great place to stop for lunch. The day continues along the coast, with a photo stop at Golden Cap, before turning inland through Dorchester, arriving in Bournemouth for the next three nights.

Day 5

With seven miles of glorious coastline and blue flag beaches, it's little wonder that Bournemouth has long been regarded as one of the top UK resorts. Apart from a thriving town centre, there is plenty to see, whether it's a stroll along the sea front, or in one of the town's lush parks. There are cafes and restaurants galore to relax and watch the world go by.

Day 6

Board your cruiser in Poole - Europe's largest natural harbour. Pass Sandbanks, a place of the rich and famous, and the monumental chalk formations of Old Harry's Rocks, and Studland Bay, disembarking in Swanage. Time free before joining your coach passing Corfe Castle and along the coast, stopping at the famous Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door and then Weymouth, Chesil Beach and Bill.

Day 7

Leaving the hotel after breakfast, we will start our journey home. We will have suitable comfort breaks en route to your drop off point where one of our Door-to-Door vehicles will be waiting to take you home.
