The vibrant
heart of the
English Riviera
Voted a Top 10 year-round holiday destination, Torquay is an
increasingly popular place to stay and has seen a renaissance
in recent years with a number of new family attractions,
waterfront cafes, clubs, cocktail venues, bars and first-class
restaurants opening across this very popular seaside town.
Torquay and its close neighbour Babbacombe have a
great choice of places to stay including elegant and stylish
Award-Winning Bed and Breakfasts, Boutique and Spa Hotels
and larger Hotels with in-house entertainment providing a
wide range of facilities to keep everyone entertained. This new

Famous for its iconic palm trees, busy harbour from where
ferries run to Paignton and Brixham, seafront promenade,
parks and gardens, sandy beach, theatres and international
marina, Torquay with its mild climate is at the heart of the
English Riviera. This thriving and vibrant modern resort is part of
the English Riviera UNESCO Global Geopark and 22 miles of
the South West Coast Path.
Torquay has an enviable literary heritage not only as the
birthplace of the world’s most famous crime writer, Agatha
Christie, but also the inspiration for some of the world’s greatest
writers including Charles Kingsley and Oscar Wilde. Many of
Agatha Christie’s world-famous novels were inspired here and
you can follow in her footsteps by walking the ‘Agatha Christie
Mile’ along Torquay’s seafront and taking a step back in time.
As a nation of dog lovers, we recognise that visitors to the
English Riviera want to bring their family pet along. There are
9 beaches in Torquay permitting dogs all year round and
many picturesque seafront esplanades and country parks
providing the perfect setting for leisurely dog walks.
