Things to do in South Devon if the weather is bad

[DontThinkJustDo]

I'm going down soon and thinking I should probably have a plan b for bad weather. Any suggestions? Staying in the Torquay area.

Found this place a bit bizarre but worth a visit https://www.englishriviera.co.uk/things-to-do/bygones-torquay-p136853

That's just a generally good website to look at - thank you @Min133

Hope you have a great time!

Paignton zoo, clip and climb (exeter or Plymouth), ibounce (Newton abbot), Dartmouth castle, steam train to Kingswear then ferry over to Dartmouth, swimming at English riviera centre, viva torquay (axe throwing sort of place), occombe farm (indoor play area depending on age of kids), crealey/ woodlands (some indoor sections including large soft play at both), river dart cruise/ sea safari (not sure if these are covered for wet weather), Exeter underground passages, Exeter ram (museum), the box Plymouth.

What age kids (if any)?

No kids, just adults.

Kents Caverns, tea shops, Willows retail park (huge M&S), Greenway and Coleton Fishacre National Trust

Plymouth Aquarium/National Marine Aquarium
Otter & Butterfly Sanctuary at Buckfastleigh
South Devon Railway
House of Marbles (fab restaurant)
Kent's Cavern
Golden Hind, Brixham
Paignton Zoo

Day trips to places like Totnes, Exeter, Dartmouth

Exeter museum is pretty awesome even for adults! And it’s near loads of tasty places to eat as well. I recommend Bills.

Also Exeter has underground tunnels you can have a tour of! Very cool!

The Box museum in Plymouth is brilliant.

Totnes steam train to Buckfastleigh. Then Buckfast Abbey

Paignton Zoo was soo run down last year. Not worth the money at all.

Exeter Cathedral was nice. Lots to do in Exeter.

Ooo we are going to Dawlish om Saturday.

I have Powderham Castle, Exeter, Paignton Zoo and a moor walk on my list. Plus various small seaside places. We like Teignmouth and Shaldon, we went to Exmouth last year and might go into Paignton itself. The rail service is pretty good down the coastline.

Dawlish Town is pretty as well, home of the black Swan and a nice cream tea place at the side of the stream and black swans.

I love Devon ❤️.

Me too @HighlandCowbag - but I haven't been there for years! I hope the weather cheers up though so I can make the most of the beautiful beaches.

This is a cute place to visit and a lovely cafe too 😀 visit.houseofmarbles.com/
