I am wondering if there is enough time between each different mode of travel on the Round Robin to look around the towns or do you feel rushed to get on the next portion of the trip? Was it an enjoyable trip or are there better ways to spend the day? Thanks for your input.

I'll bite. What is the Round Robin? Which towns are you referring to? Your post needs some clarification!

Silly me... It leaves from Totnes and goes to Paignton, Dartmouth, and Kingswear by train, boat, ferry and bus. Thank you for pointing out my oversight rather than just ignoring me. I've read the website for times etc, but was hoping to hear from someone who has done it for their opinion.

Dartmouth is the place that really matters for having time to look around. The ferry between Dartmoth & Kingswear takes only a few minutes. Paington to not really worth hanging around. The timetable varies because relatively high water is needed for the ferry to reach Totnes - which is also attractive.

When you are in Totnes don't forget to spend your Totnes Pounds. They have their own currency there you know. BTW- they will take Pound Sterling, too. You might leave with a Totnes Pound or two when you leave....
