Torquay
Acclaimed as'The English Riviera'\nDevon's most popular coastal resort, and part of the UNESCO-accredited Global Geopark (meaning it provides unique cultural, geological, and historical importance to the world), Torquay is the ultimate traditional seaside town that's still thriving to this day.\n\nThis is because its climate and beauty make you feel like you're abroad - the reason why it is acclaimed as the 'English Riviera'. No wonder Agatha Christie spent much of her life in her hometown!\n\n
Famous for its palm trees, harbour and beaches\nThe family-friendly holiday destination is famous for its iconic palm tree-lined promenade, busy harbour and marina, sandy beaches - and its horseshoe-shaped bay provides some of the best conditions for water sports.\n\nAlthough the town is full of old-school seaside charm, it is a cosmopolitan place - full of continental-style cafés, restaurants, bars, and one of the top theatres in the country. There is no better place to enjoy some of the freshest seafood straight from England's Seafood Coast.
