English Riviera Walking Festival
On 14th June 2025 to 22nd June 2025
Located in South Devon and (the towns of Torquay, Paignton and Brixham) The English Riviera is a walker’s paradise. It has a very sheltered position, mild climate and numerous walking trails through woodlands, along winding coastal paths and hidden tracks. It provides the perfect destination for walkers of all abilities.
The South West Coastal Path meanders along this coastline and also holds the accolade for being an UNESCO Geopark. There are 140 Geoparks in the World and Torbay is the only seaside resort with this status.
This Walking Festival (in its second year) offers a mix of walks and talks that will entertain and inform in equal measure. The walks are hosted by experienced tour guides, but the web site also contains a selection of self-guided walks which you can enjoy at your own leisure.
Reviews
- A thoroughly enjoyable day out - I was very impressed with the organisation, it was always very clear where we were supposed to go and what time we were supposed to be somewhere - would happily do it again.
- Grand day out! - I thoroughly enjoyed the whole trip, from the steam train to the ferry ride and of course, the boat trip. The designated seating and screens made me feel very safe. Well done!
- Nostalgic day out - Had a great day on the steam railway and paddleboat with my family. Fantastic views during the railway trip and equally excellent views, and commentary, during the river cruise. Well worth the cost, friendly and helpful staff.
