Stagecoach has announced a significant expansion of its bus network across Devon, providing travelers with more affordable and convenient options to explore the region. This development connects key areas such as Barnstaple, Exeter, Torbay, and Plymouth, making it easier for residents and tourists to access popular destinations and hidden gems alike.
With the enhanced network, travelers can now plan diverse outings, from beach days and shopping sprees to family adventures and nature walks, all without the need for a car. The updated journey planner available on the Stagecoach website and app simplifies route planning, showing the best options and fare details for any trip.
This expansion is particularly significant for budget-conscious travelers. The Stagecoach Group ticket offers unlimited daily travel for up to five people, making group outings more economical. Additionally, a variety of activity guides have been created to help travelers discover the best the South West has to offer, including top beaches, attractions, and pet-friendly spots.
For those interested in exploring Devon’s scenic landscapes, the network now includes improved access to walking trails and nature reserves. Even on rainy days, the bus network provides reliable transport to indoor attractions, ensuring that poor weather doesn’t dampen travel plans.
Devon is home to numerous attractions that are now more accessible than ever. Popular destinations include the historic Exeter Cathedral, the family-friendly Crealy Theme Park & Resort with its 60 rides and attractions, and the picturesque coastal village of Clovelly. Nature enthusiasts can enjoy the Buckfast Butterfly Farm and Dartmoor Otter Sanctuary, while those seeking adventure can explore the dramatic cliffs of the Jurassic Coast and the rugged beauty of Dartmoor and Exmoor National Parks.
The expansion of the bus network not only facilitates easier and more affordable travel within Devon but also promotes sustainable tourism by encouraging the use of public transport. This move is expected to boost local tourism, making it more accessible for everyone to enjoy the diverse attractions and natural beauty of the region.
