Rail & River Cruises:

Why not enjoy a full day excursion combining a steam train ride and a river cruise.

Travel on the steam railway from Paignton to Kingswear, then cross the river Dart on our foot passenger ferry to Dartmouth, where you board one of ​the​ boats for a circular ​river cruise (approximately 1 hour duration) around the river and estuary. The cruise takes you to the mouth of the river passing Kingswear & Dartmouth Castles, Dittisham village, Britannia Royal Naval College and Greenway House – home to the late Dame Agatha Christie.

Tell the children to keep their eyes peeled for the varied wildlife that can be seen – Dolphins, Seals, Herons, Egrets, Buzzards and​ ​Kingfishers​​ if you’re quick enough! Pick up a colouring in sheet in ​the visitor centre ​at Kingswear ​railway​ station. Why not get the children to colour in the wildlife they spot.
