Visit Torquay – the English Riviera
For those wondering, Torquay’s nickname comes from the Victorians, who compared the Devon town to the French Riviera for its beautiful weather. They weren’t wrong. Devon is always amongst the sunniest places in the UK, which is the perfect accompaniment for Torquay’s selection of sand and shingle beaches and palm-tree-lined promenade.
Today, that’s accompanied by a selection of outstanding places to eat and drink. Head to The Elephant to sample Michelin star delights, take your pick from a selection of restaurants and bars on the front, or sample local delights like pasties, fish and chips, and crab sandwiches. Let’s not forget cream tea – just make sure you put the cream on before the jam in Devon!
Things to do in Torquay
There’s more to Torquay than beaches, beautiful views and the best food. Babbacombe Model Village is a must-see while you’re in the area. The miniature village includes scaled down models of UK landmarks like the Shard and Stonehenge with illuminations when the sun goes down. That’s accompanied by the Babbacombe Cliff Railway for stunning views.
History and nostalgia fans will love Bygones, a life-sized Victorian shopping street with old-fashioned shop fronts, over 2,000 artefacts and plenty of souvenirs. Torre Abbey is another great option, offering free tours of its medieval grounds. Or go even further back and explore Torquay’s caves at Kents Cavern – a significant Stone Age site which was once home to ancient humans.
