Dartmouth Steam Railway & River Boat Company

About

Based on the glorious South Devon coastline in South West England, enjoy your days out in Devon on our steam trains, boat trips and paddle steamer.

The only attraction in Devon that lets you enjoy the delights of Torquay, Paignton, Brixham, Dartmouth and the River Dart, Kingswear and Totnes on your day out!

The railway is a standard gauge line running between Paignton and Kingswear. The boat trip offers fantastic cruising on the River Dart and up to Totnes, and there are sea trips from both Torquay and Brixham. The PS Kingswear Castle is based on the River Dart and is the last remaining coal fired paddle steamer in the UK.
