Holiday thrill-seekers can take the plunge at Quaywest, Britain's biggest, wildest and wettest theme park, with its eight slides, two kiddies pool areas and a swimming pool. If the 65ft plunge of the Devil’s Drop or the Raging Rapids aren’t your thing, nearby Goodrington sands is an award-winning Blue Flag beach, ideal for a gentle paddle or a bit of sandcastle building.
Take a trip back in time on your holidays with the Paignton and Dartmouth Steam Railway, or get in touch with your inner caveman at Kent’s Cavern by exploring its 2 million-year-old cave system. Or, if you’re feeling really brave, go on its spooky Ghost Tour – if you dare! Paignton Zoo remains a firm holiday favourite and the Model Village at Babbacombe with its enchanting miniature towns, villages and gardens is a hit with all generations. Other activities in Paignton include Go-Karting, Mini Golf and of course having a Devon Cream Tea.
