Devon's railway heritage is a testament to the region's industrial and engineering prowess. The Great Western Railway played a crucial role in transforming transportation and tourism in the area.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, railways became the lifeblood of Devon's economy and social life. The Dartmouth Steam Railway, running from Paignton to Kingswear, is a living museum of this golden era.
As a railway-themed hotel, the Great Western Hotel celebrates this rich heritage, offering guests a unique connection to Devon's transportation history.
