Stagecoach South West offers budget-friendly adventures for families this summer

With the summer holidays now underway, Stagecoach South West is encouraging families to ditch the car and discover some of the region’s most scenic and affordable destinations without breaking the bank.

With fares capped at just £3 per journey across the South West of England, and even better value available through Dayriders and Group tickets, families can enjoy memorable days out to the coast, countryside, and historic towns, often for less than the cost of a round of ice creams.

From seaside strolls to rural rambles, Stagecoach’s network of picturesque bus routes makes it easy for everyone to enjoy a summer escape. Highlights include:

  • Exeter: Explore historic streets, riverside walks, and family-friendly attractions.

  • Across Devon: Discover rolling hills, golden beaches, and postcard-worthy countryside views.

  • Plymouth: Enjoy maritime heritage, oceanfront fun, and activities for all ages.

Additional summer destinations perfect for a low-cost family adventure include:

  • Torquay: Soak up traditional seaside charm on the English Riviera.

  • Barnstaple: Take in the dramatic beauty of North Devon’s coast and countryside.

  • Sidmouth and Seaton: Marvel at the Jurassic Coast without the hassle of parking.

With user-friendly journey planning tools available via the Stagecoach app, getting around is both simple and stress-free, ideal for families looking to travel sustainably and affordably this summer.

Peter Knight, Managing Director at Stagecoach South West, said:
“We know how precious family time is, especially during the summer. And we know how important it is for families to make the most of their holidays without spending a fortune.
“That’s why we’ve worked hard to ensure our services are affordable, accessible and ready for adventure. Whether it’s a seaside escape or a countryside exploration, our services are designed to help families make memories together comfortably, affordably, and sustainably.”
