A Day Out on THE TORBAY EXPRESS is a chance to sit back, relax and enjoy train travel as it used to be in bygone days when steam was king and everyone travelled to their summer holiday on the English Riviera by train. On summer Sundays the Torbay Express follows the route of Brunel’s picturesque Great Western Railway, speeding across the Somerset levels and around the beautiful Devon coastline on one of the most enchanting railway journeys in the world. Spend time relaxing in seaside Paignton or remain aboard for our ultimate destination of Kingswear, where you can take the ferry across the River Dart to beautiful and historic Dartmouth. Travel is in heritage carriages with comfortable seats and large picture windows hauled by iconic steam locomotives.

Mallards Pike Lake in the Forest of Dean has been voted the best place to picnic in the South West; this attractive beauty spot is popular for walking, cycling and other adventure activities. The family cycle path runs close by and Go Ape is just a short walk from the car park. Mallards Pike is easily accessible and is suitable for buggies and wheelchairs.
If you are looking for activities in the Forest of Dean then we think everyone has the GO APE spirit just waiting to be unleashed. There’s our Tree Top Adventure and Forest Segways. We will brief you for safety before you fly down an epic zip wire, leap off our Tarzan Swing and tackle our high ropes crossings whilst enjoying some of Britain’s most breathtaking scenery. Our popular Segway experience is bringing you down from the trees and onto solid ground, from two legs to two wheels, it is a totally unique way to tackle the trails and enjoy Gloucestershire’s finest woodlands.
Why not explore the Forest of Dean; it is one of the best days out near Bristol and in Gloucestershire. You will enjoy spectacular views from the trees and then there is a great area to discover on foot or two wheels.
