Welcome to one of the most beautiful regions in England: the English Riviera. This bay, which stretches out for more than 30 km, borders the towns of Torquay, Paignton, and Brixham. Torquay, often called "the queen of the English Riviera" is a seaside resort from the Victorian era, characterized by its white villas, beautiful gardens and elegant buildings. You will become a witness to the rich heritage that Torquay offers to its visitors. Paignton, a very lively town can be distinguished by its large sandy beach which has a jetty, a port, and a theatre. Paignton Green, on the seafront, is the touristic centre of the resort which hosts numerous events organized all year round. And finally, don't miss Brixham, a picturesque and pretty little fishing port which will surely be the starting point for your walks around the bay. Allow yourself to be seduced by this very delicate atmosphere which evokes the enigmas of well-known local girl, Agatha Christie.
