The three towns, Paignton, Torquay and Brixham along the shores of TorBay are now collectively known both as Torbay and The English Riviera.
Torbay and it's surrounding countryside forms one of the most beautiful parts of Great Britain. Nestling in the semi-tropical southerly part of Lyme Bay in Glorious South Devon in the south-west of England, it has a climate and landscape which is greatly envied by many. The holiday-maker from the UK or abroad is warmly welcomed and widely catered for. There are hotels, accommodation, restaurants, shops, clubs and attractions and activities to suit every taste, every age-range and every pocket! |
Fleet Walk is a modern shopping complex, leading away from the harbour and is the start of the retail centre which includes every type of shop you could require.
Brixham nestles in the rugged cliffs at the southern end of Torbay. Fishing has been carried out in Brixham for more than 900 years and remains in the forefront of today's industry. Sample freshly caught seafood from one of the quayside's fish stalls, or relax in a pub or restaurant and watch life go by. Berry Head Country Park in Brixham is a must see for visitors. Some areas of the site are kept wild and remote so that wildlife can exist undisturbed. |
