Transport Links
South Devon is easily accessible by rail from towns and cities across the UK, making travelling by train for your holiday or day out a great option. Direct services from London, Bristol, Birmingham, Sheffield, Newcastle and Edinburgh all stop off at Exeter, Newton Abbot, Totnes and Plymouth. These four main stations in South Devon provide connections and links, via local services, to Teignmouth, Dawlish, Dawlish Warren, Torquay, Paignton and Ivybridge.
With many bus routes and companies stopping outside train stations and providing services to the nearby towns and villages, it makes South Devon the perfect car free destination and holiday choice.
There are many ways to explore the Exe, or to use it to get around. The Exmouth to Starcross Ferry is a passenger ferry which crosses the mouth of the River Exe in the English county of Devon. It links the town of Exmouth on the eastern side of the Exe estuary to the village of Starcross on the western side. You can walk up one side from Dawlish Warren up to the Turf Locks pub, and walk down the other side from Topsham to Exmouth. By using the Starcross Ferry you can enjoy a round trip, returning by train. There is always something to see on the river and on a warm sunny day the ride on the top deck of the ferry is part of a fun day out.
