The three towns of Torquay, Paignton and Brixham, each with their own flavour, blend together to create a destination that attracts visitors from all over the world.
Torquay has been a fashionable haven since the 19th century and continues to be one of the UK’s premier seaside resorts. Its waterfront is the focus of life in the town, with a lively harbour – lined with restaurants, cafes and bars – and palm-fringed promenade.
New for 2011 is freshly unveiled Royal Terrace Gardens (also known as Rock Walk), which after an extensive restoration has been returned to its former glory – with a modern day twist. A sleek, modern stepped walk, beautifully illuminated at night, offers magnificent views of the whole bay below, especially from a new panoramic viewing platform.
Only a mile from Torquay seafront, Cockington is a journey into a bygone age. Its world-famous thatched village has remained virtually untouched by the turning of the centuries and Cockington Court, a 17th century manor house, remains the majestic centrepiece of the lush green parkland, which also boasts a working craft centre and arts hub.
Babbacombe offers the visitor a variety of scenery. From the bracing Babbacombe Downs, the sea views will take your breath away. As well as the views, Babbacombe also offers restaurants, cafes, and attractions, such as the ever popular favourite – Babbacombe Model Village.
Paignton is known as the seaside resort with everything to make a perfect family holiday. Occupying the central third of the bay, most of the town is on the level with the seafront, pier, harbour and miles of sandy beaches. Brixham is nestled in the rugged cliffs in the south end of the English Riviera. This historic port has one of Britain’s most beautiful harbours – and it is around the harbour where you will absorb the flavours of this town.
Of course, the English Riviera is also known for its connections with the Queen of Crime writing. Murder, mystery, intrigue – it’s all here, immortalised in the novels created by Torquay’s most famous daughter, Dame Agatha Christie.
Imagine the style and opulence of the 1920s as you walk the Agatha Christie Mile along Torquay’s seafront, passing landmarks that influenced the author’s life and work. Visit the Agatha Christie Exhibition at Torquay Museum and her beautiful holiday home, the lovingly restored Greenway, while each year an Agatha Christie Festival draws fans from across the world.
Thanks to a landscape untouched by glaciation, the English Riviera Geopark is one of only 63 in the world. From cruises offering views of the spectacular geology and coastline – to trails and stunning sites, the English Riviera Geopark boasts a whole host of attractions.
