Beside the Sea. Exeter St David's to Kingswear. 33 Miles. Exeter St David's, Dawlish, Teignmouth, Newton Abbot, Torquay, Paignton and Kingswear. Exeter St David's to Plymouth. 46 Miles. Exeter St David's, Dawlish, Teignmouth, Newton Abbot, Totnes, Brent and Plymouth. Originally an expensive and unsuccessful experiment for Brunels eccentric atmospheric railway system. The former GWR Main Line between Exeter and Plymouth with its coastal route, sea views and Dartmoor vistas must rate as one of the most scenic railway journeys in Britain.
