Newton Abbot Travel Club

EXETER SHIP CANAL + MYSTERY DRIVE

Friday 4th July 2025

We last ran this trip four years ago and it was so popular that we ran two coaches so if you are interested remember to book early.   The last couple of years we weren't able to run a trip  due to Stuart Line being full on the days we could go.  They only run a few trips each year due to tides and the expense of having the swing bridge lifted etc. 

We will start our one way approx 2.5 hour cruise from Exmouth to Exeter Quay. We journey along the River Exe and along the canal where we then bring traffic to a standstill as one of Exeter’s main roads comes to a halt when the Countess Wear Swing Bridge ceremoniously opens to allow our passage through.  On arriving at Exeter Quay time for you to get some lunch before we have a little mystery ride where of course depends on the weather, so you know the rules to think positive.

These in turn lead toward the South West and Devon Orchards and the very popular Fruit and Vegetable Garden. Walking through the Underpass you discover the contrasting original garden of Lady Anne Berry, which consists of many garden ‘rooms’ that blend seamlessly into one.
