TORQUAY
Vibrant and cheerful, Torquay is set in a magnificent horseshoe-shaped bay. Its history is bound up in the Napoleonic Wars when the town became a watering hole for the elite who could no longer visit continental Europe and were greatly struck by its beauty and mild climate. Did you know? Napoleon was held captive in Tor Bay for two days and is reported to have exclaimed ‘Quel Bon Pays’ (what a lovely country).
Nowadays you can still experience the elegant Victorian villas, breathtaking marina views, the palm-lined promenade, beautiful sandy beaches and many family attractions. The Torquay museum, Kents Cavern and Dinosaur World are popular with guests and you are also spoilt for choice with bars, restaurants and pavement cafes. The theatre, historical Torre Abbey and the Agatha Christie mile are also available to visit.

At the southern end of Torbay, lies the traditional fishing harbour of Brixham. Buzzing from early in the morning when the fish auctions are held, until late in the evening when seafood restaurants are filled with jolly diners and sea shanties can be heard in the local hostelries. It is home to the replica of Drake’s Golden Hind, and it’s also well known for the area’s annual Pirate festival. Many of the street names reflect the towns’ Dutch heritage.
