Coach Friendly Destinations in Devon
Devon has always been a favourite for group travel, and with five CPT-accredited coach friendly destinations now recognised across the county, exploring it by coach has never been simpler. Sidmouth, Exmouth, Seaton, Honiton and RHS Garden Rosemoor have each earned their place on the map as some of the most welcoming and well-prepared spots for coach visitors in the South West.
These destinations have been officially recognised by the Confederation of Passenger Transport for their excellent facilities, thoughtful planning and dedication to making group travel effortless. From easy coach parking and convenient drop-off points to clear signage and nearby attractions, each location has taken the extra steps to make sure visitors and drivers alike enjoy a smooth, stress-free experience.
Sidmouth captures the essence of Devon’s coast with its elegant Regency buildings, sweeping seafront and relaxed charm. Its flat promenade and central coach access make it a dream for groups looking to take in sea views, browse independent shops and enjoy a proper Devon cream tea. Just along the coast, Exmouth blends sandy beaches with a lively marina atmosphere, ideal for day trips that mix leisure, food and fresh sea air.
Seaton, sitting along the stunning Jurassic Coast, offers something a little different with its electric tramway, pebble beach and coastal walks filled with geological wonder. Honiton, meanwhile, brings you inland to a traditional market town known for its lace-making heritage and welcoming local businesses that love to see groups exploring their high street.
And no visit to Devon would be complete without the beauty of RHS Garden Rosemoor, a horticultural haven that combines expertly curated gardens with gentle walking routes and excellent group facilities. Coach visitors are greeted with dedicated parking, group dining options and the kind of peaceful atmosphere that only Devon can provide.
From Sidmouth’s seaside serenity to the floral magic of RHS Garden Rosemoor, these stops make travelling through Devon by coach a pleasure from start to finish. With a commitment to excellence and a deep understanding of what group travel requires, Devon’s accredited destinations are ready to welcome you, your passengers and your next great journey.
