Enjoy a Boat Ride during Your UK beach holidays

Torquay is an excellent holiday destination for your UK beach holidays. If you are planning your UK beach holidays here you should book one of the spacious holiday cottages. The holiday cottages are recommended for families who want to enjoy their UK beach holidays in style. The holiday cottages are fully-furnished accommodations that are perfect if you want to cook your own meals during your UK beach holidays. There are many popular attractions in Torquay and if you are holidaying with your whole family, there is no shortage of things to do here. You and your family can enjoy a nice boat ride during your UK beach holidays. Here are some suggestions.

Boat and Train

The Boat and Train ride is a perfect way to enjoy your UK beach holidays. Take the children on this exciting ride and they will totally enjoy it. This boat and train ride is a full day-trip by steam train from Paignton to Kingswear, and then followed by a harbour cruise. The steam train ride is simply breath-taking and is recommended during your UK beach holidays. The trip is fully customisable and so you can decide what train to take and which cruise to go on. This is one ride your children will remember for a long time.

The Journey

It will be best if you set out right after breakfast. You will first travel by steam train from Paignton to Kingswear. From there you will cross the River Dart on the passenger ferry to Dartmouth. When you arrive at Dartmouth, you will board one of the boats for a Harbour Cruise around the estuary and river. The cruise will take about 1 hour.

The Cruise
You will get to see Kingswear and Dartmouth Castles, Dittisham village, the Britannia Royal Naval College and Greenway House on the Harbour Cruise. The Greenway House is the home of the popular author late Dame Agatha Christie. You can use your UK beach holidays to explore many amazing places in the South East of England.

Attractions

Some of the animals and birds you will see along the cruise include Seals, Dolphins, Egrets, Herons, Kingfisher and Buzzards. When you return to Dartmouth after the cruise, you can explore the place and even go shopping. You can enjoy some lunch at one of the restaurants nearby. You will then have to get back to Kingswear and take the steam train back to Paignton. The round trip will cost 17.50 for adults, 10 for children from 3 – 15 years. A family trip for 2 adults and 2 children will cost 50. This is one of the recommended trips during your UK beach holidays.
