The Riviera line
The Riviera Line offers great scenic train journeys along the South Devon coast between Exeter and Paignton.
The train is an ideal way to enjoy a walk in South Devon. Take in a picturesque harbour, stride out along the exhilarating coast or relax beside a stunning river estuary. Towns such as Torquay, Teignmouth, Dawlish and Paignton are traditional seaside resorts that grew massively in popularity thanks to the building of the railway in the mid-1800s.
