The Classic English Riviera

Enjoy an Elite Door to Door holiday to the English Riviera.

With its bustling harbour, exotic palm trees lining the seafront and dramatic russet-red cliffs, not to mention warmer climes, it is easy to understand how the Victorians coined the phrase ‘the English Riviera’. 

With a mixture of sea breeze and steam in the air, follow in the footsteps of the Victorians and experience the stunning countryside and coastline on the steam train that runs from Paignton to Kingswear before boarding the Kingswear Castle Paddle Steamer, which is the last coal-fired paddle steamer in operation in the UK today.  Enjoy a wave of vintage nostalgia on this circular cruise as you take in the sights of both Kingswear and Dittisham Castles and the Royal Britannia Naval College. 

For all its traditional seaside feel with the modern additions of boutiques and restaurants, Torquay has a fascinating wealth of history, not to mention points of geological interest, and this tour explores this to the fullest by transporting you back in time with perfectly suited excursions.
