The Beavers travel to Devon to face Torquay United in what for the Beavers is a crucial match for play off places and for Torquay is now a fight to ensure their National League South survival, following a 10 point penalty for a breach of league rules around financial management.

Travel #

Ground Address – Torquay United Football Club, Plainmoor, Torquay, TQ1 3PS

The Beavers Trust are running a coach, which is the most efficient and cheapest way to travel to this fixture. Remember trust members get a discounted price!

Nearest Train Station is Torre which is around a 25-minute walk to Plainmoor. Or you could book a taxi, if you want to do this we would suggest doing so before the day as Taxi services can be very busy in and around Torquay. This station is served by Great Western Railway on the Newton Abbot to Paignton line, so would mean a change of train at Newton Abbot from the London Paddington line. Or you could go to Torquay station and taxi from there.

If you are travelling by car The South Devon Link Road runs from Newton Abbot to Torquay, and allows quick access for home and away fans. We do not have any dedicated parking at Plainmoor, and therefore advise fans to get to Plainmoor early so that they can find street parking in the numerous roads located around the stadium.

Bus service 35A can be picked up from Torquay Harbourside and will bring you to the shops in Plainmoor. The ground is then around a 5-minute walk from the shops.
