6 Hours In Newton Abbot

If you have 6 hours or a half day to spend in Newton Abbot, here are some suggestions:

• Visit the Newton Abbot Town and GWR Museum to learn about the town's history and its connection to the railway. Allow 1-2 hours for this activity.
• Head to St. Leonard's Tower, a 14th century tower that's all that remains of the medieval church. It's a short walk from the town center and should take around 30 minutes.
• Take a stroll through the Courtenay Park, a lovely green space with a fountain, gardens, and a children's play area. This can be a leisurely activity that can take from 1-2 hours.
• If you're interested in art, visit the Devon Guild of Craftsmen, an arts and crafts gallery that showcases the work of local artisans. This should take around 1 hour.
• Finally, check out the local shops and cafes in the town center. Newton Abbot has a good selection of independent shops and cafes where you can enjoy some local produce and find souvenirs to take home. Allow an hour or two for this activity.
