A cruise down the Dart and a steam train ride

Pete

On the final day of out trip to Devon, keith and I did a round trip which included a cruise on the River Dart and a ride on the Dartmouth Steam Railway

The first part of our journey was a bus ride from Paignton to Totnes. Then we took the ‘Cardiff Castle’ from the quay down the River Dart to Dartmouth.

  • Time for cleaning!
  • Dartmouth Steam Railway runs alongside the River
  • Not the sort of wildlife you might expect alongside the river

Then we caught the ferry across the river to Kingswear.

I am semi-retired after a career in medical sciences. I now work from home doing independent research and consultancy amongst other things. One advantage of this is that I do have time to indulge my interests including birdwatching, natural history, steam trains and history particularly ancient history.
