🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Walking Paignton's Victorian Promenade to Goodrington Sands

Join us for a scenic stroll along the beautiful coastline of the English Riviera! In this walking tour, we explore the historic seaside town of Paignton, taking in the sights, sounds, and local heritage of this classic Victorian resort before making our way to the colourful beach huts at Goodrington Sands. From the lively Paignton Pier (established in 1879) and traditional seaside amusements to the quieter, picturesque inlet of Fairy Cove, this walk is a perfect blend of natural beauty and fascinating local history. Along the way, we check out the new coastal flood defences, spot the iconic Dartmouth steam train passing over the bay, and uncover the story of Stella Gail, the UK’s very first female harbour master appointed right here in 1929. Whether you are reminiscing about family holidays or discovering the UNESCO Global Geopark for the first time, come along and soak up the traditional English seaside atmosphere. 📌 Video Chapters: 00:00 - Starting on the Paignton Seafront 07:39 - Exploring Paignton Pier & Traditional Amusements 24:15 - The English Riviera & New Seawall Defenses 26:01 - Paignton Harbor & The Stella Gail Memorial 30:26 - Discovering the Hidden Gem of Fairy Cove 38:17 - Spotting the Historic Steam Train 46:13 - The Famous Beach Huts at Goodrington Sands What remains of the English Riviera’s golden age in 2026?
