Devon is one of the most beautiful counties in England. With excellent beaches, rugged landscapes and a fantastic culture, there is no surprise thousands flock to the area for summer holidays. Torbay is one of the most popular boroughs in Devon for holidaymakers. Here we take a look at just four possible locations for your next holiday in Torbay.
Torquay
Torquay is one of the most iconic holiday locations in Devon, immortalised by Fawlty Towers. This seaside resort town is known for its stunning cliffs and the beach of Babbacombe. Also known as the English Riviera, Torquay is a popular location for those who want a dose of history as well as stunning surroundings.
Paignton
Located south of Torquay, Paignton is another popular holiday destination for those looking for a stunning staycation in England. Paignton is most famous for its zoo, but also has water parks and the beautiful Broadsands beach to enjoy. The town of Paignton has plenty of history nearby, with the Oldway Mansion and coastal steam railway to enjoy.
Brixham
Unlike Paignton and Torquay, Brixham is a much smaller fishing town which has a slower influx of tourists. As such, it’s quieter but also far less busy during the summer months. From Brixham, you can take speed boat rides out from the coast as well as guided tours from the town into Devon and across to Dartmoor.
Maidencombe
North of Torquay at the northern tip of Torbay is Maidencombe. This area is home to Maidencombe beach as well as Backaller’s Cove. Backaller’s Cove is an excellent choice for those wanting to enjoy coastal walks and cycle routes to get some fresh air during their staycations.
