Newton Abbot makes a great gateway location to explore one of the most dramatic and beautiful parts of
the country - Dartmoor. This thriving little market town also has a few surprises of its own too. With
much to see and do combining both new and old, the town's location near the south Devon coast and pleasant
amenities make it an excellent place to spend some time.
With a long history steeped in trade, particularly in wool and leather, Newton Abbot is enormously well
connected with good transport links to neighbouring Torquay and Exeter, and surprisingly easy to reach from
elsewhere in the country. The town was also home to the South Devon Railway Works, and whilst these no longer
exist, the railway remains a strong part of Newton Abbot's identity.
Dartmoor Hotels
The town boasts a number of landmarks and places of interest, from Alexandra Theatre and the many
almshouses to the Newton Abbot Town and GWR Museum. An historic Cheese and Onion Fayre is also held in honour
of St Leonard at the beginning of September, with many other celebrations and festivals throughout the year.
The town is also ideally situated to reach the coast for a spot of sunbathing or sailing, as well as Dartmoor
National Park for some climbing, cycling and hiking.
For those who prefer to take it easy, Newton Abbot also has plenty of shopping and places to dine as well
as many traditional English pubs in which to enjoy a well-deserved pint.
