Traveler advice

Ways to save

Look online for family tickets/passes

Please check online as some day trips are cheaper when booked in advance. Family tickets can be a more cost effective way of buying tickets for groups of 4/5.
Getting around

Trains and Buses

The train and bus stations are opposite each other in the centre of the town. Taking the train can be a more cost effective way of visiting cities such as Plymouth and Exeter.
What to pack

Swimming costumes

The heated outdoor pool is open April - September so if you are staying here then it's worth packing your swimming things. Lots of local indoor swimming pools and the beaches of course.
