Today you can choose between trains and boats! Take the steam train on the South Devon Steam Railway along the River Dart to Buckfastleigh where you can visit the Butterfly Farm and Otter Sanctuary and Buckfast Abbey. Or take the Riverlink boat down the River Dart to Dartmouth.
Follow the River Dart downstream and lunch at one of the pubs at Ashprington or Tuckenhay on Bow Creek. The walk today ends in the riverside village of Dittisham.
Start the day with a ferry ride across the River Dart to the National Trust property of Greenway, one of the homes of Agatha Christie. The gardens are renowned for woodland shrubs and half-hardy plants. Continue on down the River Dart to Kingswear and finish with another ferry across to Dartmouth.
There are choices again today: you can visit Dartmouth Castle, or walk the South West Coast Path to the National Trust property of Coleton Fishacre, the house built by the D'Oyly Carte family and containing 24 acres of garden. Or take the Paignton and Dartmouth Steam Railway from Kingswear to Paignton. Or take a river trip. So this really is a walking holiday catering for all interests.
