It’s two pub trails in one—buzzing seafront bars followed by hilltop hideaways. Sea views, local beer, and proper Devon character all the way through.
Beachside brews, backstreet locals, and a hop from the station—Paignton’s trail is full of variety, real ale, and seaside soul.
A harbour-hugging trail with fishing-town charm, characterful pubs, and a serious range of ale—all with the sea never far from sight.
