Railway History
The English Riviera Link
The Dartmouth Steam Railway is a masterpiece of Victorian coastal engineering. Originally built to link the fashionable Torbay resorts with the naval hub of Dartmouth, it remains a vital part of the region's tourism. The line features incredible viaducts, coastal cliffs, and wooded embankments that offer panoramic views of the sea, making it a unique example of how the railway transformed the South West into a premier holiday destination.
