Consejos para los viajeros
Desplazamientos
Use the local trains - fast & frequent.
The Avocet Line connects Exmouth to Exeter passing through Lympstone & Topsham on the way. It then connects to Paignton, via Dawlish, Torquay & several other seaside towns. Services run late into the night and much of the route is very scenic.
