BY BUS OR RAIL

There are direct national coach and rail links to Totnes and Paignton. Taxis are usually available from  both stations, otherwise local bus stops are just a few minutes walk away. During the main holiday periods, at certain times, it is possible to get off a modern train at Paignton and cross to the Steam Railway. You can then travel the last few miles through breathtaking scenery to Kingswear before crossing the Dart on one of the ferries.
