Exeter
The M5 ends here and carries on as the A38 to Plymouth, while the A30 heads west into Cornwall. Torquay is 18 miles away and Plymouth about 36. The Hotel du Vin bar on Magdalen Street, near Cathedral Green, makes a discreet first stop.

Swingers in Devon and Cornwall: Worth Every Mile
From Exeter and Plymouth to Truro and Newquay, meet couples and singles who know a good meet is worth the drive.
Swingers from the Exe to the Tamar, and beyond
Devon and Cornwall share more than 110 Find Swingers members, and more than 30 of them are in Plymouth. The rest are spread through Exeter, Torbay and the Cornish towns, from St Austell and Truro to Newquay: couples and singles for whom a long drive is part of the deal.
This page is for Cornish couples hoping to find another couple close to home, singles around Plymouth and Exeter, and anyone spending the summer in Newquay. Two things shape every plan here: the miles and the season. Further afield, our swingers UK page lists every place we cover.
Meeting points
Plymouth and Exeter, where the roads meet
In the far South West, distance decides the plan, so meet where the main roads cross.
Plymouth
Our biggest group in the two counties, with more than 30 members, sitting at the Devon end of the Tamar Bridge, so it's an easy run for Cornish members too.
Truro and Newquay
Truro is Cornwall's only city, and The Alverton on Tregolls Road has a bar and brasserie for a quiet drink. Newquay is about 12 miles north, with Tom Thumb for a cocktail.
Coming from further away
The Night Riviera sleeper runs between London and Penzance six nights a week, and Exeter Airport and Cornwall Airport Newquay cover anyone flying in.
Plan around the summer rush
Newquay's population of about 24,500 can swell past 100,000 in summer, and holiday traffic brings long delays on some routes. Visiting? Post a status update saying when you're down and which town you're staying in, so locals know you're around. Local, and like it quieter? Plan your meets midweek or outside the peak months.
Meeting swingers when the miles are long
Search wider than a city swinger would
Set a distance that takes in Plymouth or Exeter as well as your own town, then let VIP filters weed out anyone after something different, so no miles are wasted.
Cornish couples: say it up front
If you're a couple after another couple, make that the first line of your profile, along with how far you'll travel. Our swinging couples page has more on setting up a swap.
Make the trip worth it
Driving an hour each way? Agree your limits before you set off, book somewhere to stay and make the first meet a drink in a hotel bar, nothing more.
Under-35s, over-55s and everyone between
Members under 3523%
Members aged 35 to 4436%
Members aged 45 to 5418%
Members aged 55 or over24%
Shares of our members across Devon and Cornwall, singles and couples together, from our member records.
Nearly a quarter are under 35, the highest share on any of our UK place pages, and about as many are 55 or over. The 45 to 54s are the smallest group at 18%, so the crowd here leans to both ends at once.
Club nights on the English Riviera
Withintemptation, on Lower Union Lane in Torquay, is a swingers and fetish club with a licensed bar, a dance floor, a pool and a sauna, and its programme includes a newbie night for first-timers alongside the parties. Check its own site for current nights. If one suits, book a room in Torquay and make a weekend of it.
West of the Tamar, the lifestyle leans on private meets and house parties set up between people who've chatted first. Our guide to swingers parties explains how invitations work, and the swingers clubs page covers a first club night.
Questions from the far South West
Are there swingers in Newquay?
Yes. Our Cornish members are spread across the county, Newquay included, and the town is an easy meeting point about 12 miles north of Truro. Summer can swell its population past 100,000, so plan around the traffic, and say on your profile whether you live locally or you're just visiting.
How many swingers are there in Plymouth?
More than 30 of our members are in Plymouth, the biggest group in Devon and Cornwall, out of more than 110 across the two counties. The city sits at the Devon end of the Tamar Bridge, so Cornish couples and Devon singles can both reach it easily for a first drink.
Is there a swingers club in Cornwall?
In Cornwall the scene leans private, house parties and hotel meets, so the way in is getting to know Cornish couples online. For a club night, Withintemptation in Torquay, a swingers and fetish club about 28 miles from Plymouth, is the nearest with current listings: look at its site for what's on.
How far do Devon and Cornwall swingers travel to meet?
Longer distances come with the territory. It's about 80 miles from the Tamar to Land's End, so meeting halfway, in Plymouth, Exeter or Truro, makes sense. Set a generous search distance and be honest on your profile about how far you'll go and how often.
Up the M5 and beyond the Tamar
Bristol is up the M5, Hampshire along the south coast, and London a sleeper ride from Penzance.
