Getting around
Once you’ve arrived in the English Riviera it’s so easy to get where you need to go by bus, you’ll never need to use your car! Brixham, Paignton and Torquay all benefit from a comprehensive bus network which will take you to many of the destinations and attractions in the area.
Stagecoach South West runs a network of bus routes right across the English Riviera and beyond so wherever your day out takes you, they can help you get there.
Either the Hop12 or Hop22 will take you to most of the attractions as well as many of the area’s most popular hotels. Both run 7 days a week from early morning until late evening.
An open top service, the 122, runs from Easter and throughout the summer season from St Marychurch to Torquay Harbourside and then along the seafront to Paignton before finishing at Paignton Zoo.
