Torquay, Paignton and Brixham collectively form the English Riviera, which is renowned for its unusually mild climate and its beautiful coastline.
There really is something for everyone on the English Riviera, from long days relaxing on the beach, sightseeing, shopping and coastal walks, to days out at Torbay's many popular tourist attractions. The wealth of attractions in Torquay and all along the Riviera ensure that there is always something to suit all the family and, even when the sun doesn’t shine, there is always something to keep everyone entertained. There is plenty to see and do, with sporting opportunities widely available and a rich variety of evening entertainment provided throughout the Bay, all year round. There are also plenty of great bars and vibrant nightclubs in Torquay.
The views across the bay towards the English Channel are stunning and Torquay is also an ideal base from which to visit Dartmouth, Totnes, Exeter and Plymouth.
Places to visit include Babbacombe Model Village, Paington Zoo, Living Coasts, Kents Cavern, Steam Railway, Bygones Museum and many, many more.
