ROUND ROBIN TRIP CONFIRMED FOR NORTON FESTIVAL!

Full day excursion. Steam & Cruise is the perfect day out if you have children as it has ultimate flexibility - you decide what train and cruise to go on!

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 their 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.

Keep their eyes peeled for the varied wildlife that can be seen – Dolphins, Seals, Herons, Egrets, Buzzards and Kingsfisher if you’re quick enough! Pick up a colouring in sheet in our Visitor Centre at Kingswear station. Why not get the children to colour in the wildlife they spot.

The River Cruise departs Dartmouth, (where the foot passenger ferry drops you off), daily at 11:30, 12:30 & 13:30 (plus 10:30 and 14:30 in the high season). There is no need to pre-book seats on this service.

On your return to Dartmouth there’ll be time to look around, go shopping and have some lunch before going back to Kingswear for your return steam train ride to Paignton. Or if it suits, back to Kingswear for an earlier train to Paignton.
