Torquay Weekend at the Burlington Hotel

Once a tiny fishing village, the Victorian Railway age transformed Dawlish into a bustling seaside town. The railway still runs alongside the seafront today and overlooks the lovely sandy beach. The town is centred around the famous lawn and brook, home to the famous Black Swans, and offers a range of classic amusements, shops and tea rooms.

The charming estuary town of Teignmouth is idyllically located on the mouth of the River Teign and is surrounded by rolling Devonshire countryside. Boasting a bustling harbour as well as the traditional attractions of a seaside resort, there is plenty to explore. Discover the historic Georgian buildings and Victorian pier, enjoy an ice cream along the long promenade and admire the stunning views across the bay, set against the backdrop of striking red sandstone cliffs.

Torquay has been one of the UK's top holiday destinations since Victorian times when the Riviera name was used to describe this favourite of resorts. Their legacy remains with sparkling white villas perched on the hilltops and elegant Victorian facades along the main streets to make a beautiful setting for a perfect coach break.

Torquay's famous seven hills provide the backdrop to the waterfront, with 22 miles of coastline, cliffs, coves, beaches and walks to rival any in the South West of England and a climate that belongs somewhere much further south. Stunning views can be seen just about everywhere across the bay, out over the English Channel.

Torquay is very much a place to relax, in the many pavement cafés, pubs and restaurants, so soak up the atmosphere, take in the scenery, stroll around the parks and the gardens – everything you need for a an enjoyable coach holiday in a traditional English seaside resort!
