2026 Autumn Weekend

Tuesday 15th to Friday 18th September 2026

Our 2026 Autumn tour will be based at The Palace Hotel in Paignton.

It is situated right on the seafront, has ample parking and is lovely inside.

The hotel also boasts a large indoor swimming pool if you feel the sea is too cold for a dip!

Prices are comparable with costs for other hotels the Register has stayed in. The Palace Hotel has been used by other car clubs and are used to catering for large groups.

Two excursions are planned for the Wednesday and Thursday. They will not be long drives as there are many tempting places to stop and visit along the way.  One route is to follow the coast heading south towards Dartmouth. Dartmouth is a spectacular town and a boating haven. It is well worth wandering around and has plenty of eateries of all kinds. On this tour we will use the Kingswear Higher Ferry.

It will also be possible to visit to the lovely fishing port of Brixham. Also not to be missed is the fantastic National Trust property, Coleton Fishacre, built in the Arts & Crafts style as a home for the D’Oyly Carte music family.

Departing Dartmouth, we will head towards Stoke Fleming and pass the beautiful Blackpool Sands before a stunning view of Slapton Ley appears.

The second tour will be a circular route of Dartmoor and once again there will be spectacular views and plenty of points of interest.

For anyone who would like to extend their break to take in a trip over the Tamar into Cornwall I can provide a popular route around the villages and cliffs of SE Cornwall and Bodmin Moor.
