This morning we visit Bicton Park Botanical Gardens. Spanning nearly 300 years of horticultural history, this magnificent grade I listed garden is set in the picturesque Otter Valley. The superbly landscaped park combines 18th century tranquillity with modern amenities to provide all year-round enjoyment including historic glasshouses, a countryside museum and the Bicton Woodland Railway train ride. This afternoon we visit the Cathedral city of Exeter.

This morning, we make our way to Bridport, a lively and vibrant market town with a rich, rope-making heritage. We hop back on the coach and travel the short journey to the dramatic cliffs of the Jurassic Coast at the village of West Bay. West Bay has enjoyed a surge in popularity in recent years thanks to ITV's smash hit Drama Broadchurch starring David Tennant and Olivia Colman being filmed here.
