Take the bus from Torquay to Totnes, a historic town with its roots in Elizabethan times.

Totnes, which has a reputation for welcoming alternative lifestyles and is the second oldest borough in England, is full of interesting things to see and do, including museums, riverside walks and a fourteenth-century castle. Fridays are typically market day, where local traders sell a range of food, clothes and antiques. Explore the many  independent shops and boutiques and grab some lunch in one of the town’s popular organic cafes.
