Location

Located at the heart of the English Riviera, Torquay is made famous by its stunning beaches at Babbacombe and cliff-side Oddicombe. Benefitting from a balmy climate, Torquay is one of the few places in the UK featuring thriving palm trees alongside a busy harbour and international marina. There are a number of fantastic eateries, shops, and classic seaside attractions to choose from, including boat trips, amusement arcades and adventure golf. Torquay’s many landscaped gardens and scenic walks are the perfect way to spend your time here, or, for history lovers, visit Kents Cavern Prehistoric Caves or Torre Abbey, the most well-preserved medieval monastery in the area. The surrounding area boasts many other popular attractions which are just a short driving distance away; explore a world of British history at Bygones, discover the miniature landscaped gardens of Babbacombe Model Village, explore the breathtaking open moorlands of Dartmoor National Park, or add a wild day out at Paignton Zoo to your agenda.
