Country walks, history, beaches … Newton Abbot is a great base for exploring the local area. In Newton Abbot itself you’ll find Trago Mills, Devon's discount and leisure destination, and the town centre has plenty of independent shops, and a farmers’ market (Tuesdays and Fridays). Take the Templar Way walking route to see the heights of Haytor on Dartmoor and the sea at Teignmouth (a bus will take you to Haytor to start the walk).
