Proper boat trips, from a professional, accredited, family run pleasure boat company. No one does it like WeFerry - just you wait and sea!
Reviewed By Susiej25
We did the Teignmouth round robin trip from Brixham. Great value trip. John our skipper was very knowledgeable and pointed out wildlife & rock formations as we sailed along the coast. After a few hours in Teignmouth we caught the train to Paignton where we got back on board to sail back to Brixham. John and Alvin were great & we wouldnt hesitate to book with them again. They are a small family business and deserve support in these difficult times.

Exellent way of seeing the city! Manchester offers two free bus routes, one that covers the inner part of the city centre and one that covers the edge of the city centre. Both busses are ideal for both sightseeing and transportation and problably the best advice I can pass on to other Manchester visitors.

Overall Ratings

Take a scenic ferry trip across the River Avon to the Waterside gardens by the Royal Shakespeare Theatre and recreation grounds. In operation since 1937, and fully rebuilt in 2010 by Avon Boating, 'Malvolio' as it is named has ferried thousands of passengers back and forth over the River Avon. As one of the last remaining hand wound chain ferries in the country you will get to see a unique angle of the river with views downriver to the Holy Trinity Church and upstream to the RST.

5. Fowey to Mevagissey Ferry
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 384 reviews
Reviewed By royp75 - St Merryn, United Kingdom
Four of us decide to try out the Mevagissey to Fowey ferry , it was a last minute decision I'm glad we made, with all the problems with the virus the crew made everything run very smoothly, we were allocated our seating while on the jetty for our outbound and return journey, the crossing was very smooth with stunning views and a small detour to see some dolphins. The return was quite rough but the skipper gave us a fair warning of exactly what to expect so it was a thrilling white knuckle ride coming out or the Fowey river for ten minutes or so, for £15 return it was the best day out of our holiday
6. Hurst Castle
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,314 reviews
Located within the New Forest National Park, Hurst Castle is situated on the seaward end of the shingle spit that extends 1.5 miles from Milford-on-Sea, Hampshire. Built by Henry VIII as a chain of fortresses to protect the Solent in 1544, this is the site where Charles I was imprisoned in 1648 before being taken to his trial and execution in London. The castle was modernised during the Napoleonic wars and again in the 1870s when the enormous armoured wings were added, making it the largest coastal fort in the world. Two of the huge 38-ton guns installed in the 1870s can be viewed in their casemates together with other weapons developed through 412 years of military use. During World War II, Hurst was manned with coastal gun batteries and searchlights. You can get to Hurst Castle by ferry from Keyhaven Quay (sat nav postcode: SO41 0TP) or you can walk along the shingle Hurst Spit. The castle is currently closed, however refreshments are available from outside the castle.

Our visit to Hurst Castle was definitely a highlight of our trip to the New Forest, probably second only to a particularly great tree at Bolderwood Deer Sanctuary. We had a very enjoyable mooch around (tudor castle to the left, tea room to the right) learning about the history (built by Henry VIII, King Charles I was a prisoner there) and enjoying the views from the top. Room 8 is definitely worth a visit. Excellent lighting.

9. Bridgnorth Castle Hill Railway
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 813 reviews
Reviewed By Teazles52
A short trip to Bridgnorth Low Town on a heritage feature. The descent lasts only a couple of minutes, is good value return fare and our dog was free. The stop point is ideal for the Severn Valley Railway and river walks. We returned to High Town along the main road towards the Castle Gardens rather than the Funicular (only took a few minutes anyway). Worth a visit - young children would probably enjoy the experience. A little girl travelling in our 'car' was thrilled.
