TORQUAY

Torquay has been one of the UK's top holiday destinations since Victorian Times when the gentry promenaded, bathing huts were wheeled down the beaches and anyone who was anyone had an attractive villa overlooking the sea. It was the Victorians who first used the Riviera name to describe their favourite resort and their legacy remains to this day with sparkling white villas perched on the verdant hilltops, beautiful gardens around the seafront and elegant Victorian facades along the main streets. Torquay's famous seven hills provide the backdrop to a waterfront scene that matches anything you'll find on the French Riviera.

DARTMOUTH
Dartmouth is a seaport a short distance from Torquay. The history or the area can be traced to Prehistoric times and the town's rich maritime past has been well documented for more than 800 years.

Brixham
Brixham is a large, active fishing port with a fish auction house on the quayside. Brixham's main claim to fame is that William Of Orange landed here in 1688, an event marked by his statue. Brixham has a Napoleonic fort at Berry Head, which gives spectacular views to the lights of Torquay and Paignton.
