Why Torbay?
Situated on the beautiful English Riviera in Devon, the seaside resort of Torbay (population 130,000) is made up of three towns – Paignton, with its beaches, the fishing port of Brixham and elegant Victorian Torquay. Torbay with 22 miles of truly spectacular coastline, including cliffs, long sandy beaches and palm trees, together with waterside cafes and restaurants, offers a Mediterranean style experience. And being in England’s favoured south-western region, you are less than an hour from Dartmoor National Park with its dramatic landscapes and wildlife, and Cornwall, a surfer’s paradise in a land of legend. This attractive unspoilt region is easily reached by train and road from London. Convenient links from the fast growing regional airports of Bristol, Exeter and Plymouth also serve Torbay.
