Railways Restored: Paignton and Dartmouth Railway

The Paignton and Dartmouth Steam Railway is the Classic holiday line, with steam trains running for seven miles along the spectacular Torbay coast; this is a typical West Country Branch Line which revives all the atmosphere of the Great Western Railways. From Brunel's terminus at Kingswear, Lydham Manor' climbs from the banks of the River Dart through deeply wooded hillside to Churston, followed by a descent of the Torbay Coast. There are magnificent views over the Dart Estuary and superb seascapes right across Lyme Bay to Portland Bill. There is also time to visit the olde world town of Dartmouth and other attractions along the Line.
