The great outdoors awaits No matter what time of year you visit the English Riviera, we’ve got plenty of reasons for you to get out and about and discover South Devon’s Beautiful Bay.

1

There’s one thing we have in abundance and that¹s the Great Outdoors! We are a UNESCO-recognised Global Geopark; one of only 7 in the UK, waiting for you to explore. We have cycling, climbing and kayaking for active visitors or some simply breathtaking views for those who just want to sit back and relax.

If you really want to get up close and personal to our stunning coastline then why not take a boat trip or one of the great value ferries that run throughout the season.

For those that are more adventurous, there¹s always diving, coasteering or even wild swimming! Our local experts will be more than happy to take you on an adventure of a lifetime.

6

Keen fishermen can either spend the day beach fishing or go on an organised trip to tackle some of the larger catches that lay just off shore. Be sure to keep an eye out for some playful dolphins and seals that can often be spotted in our sheltered bay.

Back on land the English Riviera plays host to a dramatic section of the South West Coast Path. The breathtaking landscapes and rare wildlife are perfect for novice walkers and experienced hikers alike.

South Devon has been affectionately named Britain’s Seafood Coast thanks to the amount of world renowned fish landed daily at Brixham Harbour. You really couldn’t choose a better place to sample the freshest and most delicious seafood money can buy. For a truly unique experience, book a Catch and Cook Excursion or see a real fish auction take place on a fish market tour.

you After a fun day out, it’s time to sit back, relax, and let us entertain you! You don’t need to go to the West End of London to see international stars and world-class shows – we have them right here in our five theatres!

2

The Princess Theatre offers a huge range of sell out shows, from top comedians and West End productions through to opera and classic drama.

Every year Cockington Court plays host to many open-air theatre productions which have included the ‘Three Musketeers’ and ‘Robin Hood’.

For a family evening out that’s a little bit different, the enchanting illuminations at Babbacombe Model Village are not to be missed.

Shakespeare Underground is a unique, interactive show at Kents Cavern, where you’ll also find spooky Ghost Tours taking place throughout the summer and during Halloween.

The English Riviera comes alive at night with waterfront bars playing live music and a selection of nightclubs where you can dance the night away with a group of friends.

THE ENGLISH RIVIERA IS A GLOBAL

There are only 120 120 Global Geoparks in the world!

We are one of just 77 Global Geoparks in the UK! Global Geoparks are recognised by UNESCO International Geoparks Conference Torquay 27 - 30 September

1 10 English Riviera OFFICIAL holiday Guide 2016

The English Riviera Geopark is one of the most exciting initiatives I’ve seen. Here you’ll find rocks laid down at a time when Torbay was in a Caribbean-type ocean, on Oddicombe beach you are among rocks formed in a desert! Pebbles themselves can seem boring but when you realise they were washed down in a desert flood 300 million years ago, that’s an exciting story.

Professor Iain Stewart BBC TV Earth Science presenter

Celebrating our incredible geology, landscape and heritage Uncover the stories that have made the English Riviera the place you see today. Over the years, in fact over 400 million of them, our landscape has influenced the wildlife and the amazing human history of South Devon’s Beautiful Bay. Begin your exploration by following in the footsteps of early man at Kents Cavern prehistoric caves, home to humankind for over 500,000 years.

Make time to experience Berry Head National Nature Reserve for its views, walks and wildlife. Relax in the eloquence of Torre Abbey historic house, built with stone from the very

headland it overlooks and delight in the sights of classic England within the beautiful Cockington Village and Country Park complete with its vibrant centre of arts and traditional crafts at Cockington Court.

Take a boat cruise, or walk along the South West Coast Path, and see the majestic Devonian limestone headlands and the magnificent red Permian cliffs that have inspired the world-famous crime writer Agatha Christie. Incredible to think these rocks were formed millions of years ago at the bottom of a warm tropical sea and turned red by the equatorial sun!

Have a go at kayaking or coasteering to get an even closer look or back on dry land you can uncover more at our local museums. The free GeoPlay Park on Paignton’s seafront is a children’s play area with a difference, it is themed around the amazing geological story of the English Riviera.

Our heritage stretches back an astonishing 400 million years! However it’s not just geology that has shaped our spectacular coastline – seafaring tales of pirates, smugglers and shipwrecks are all waiting to be told. If you want to see the best of our glorious Devonshire coast and countryside, you can hop onboard the Paignton to Dartmouth steam train and take a trip down memory lane through the beautiful Dart Valley.

Find out about your ancestors at the prehistoric Kents Cavern, home to Europe’s oldest man.This spectacular attraction also stages underground concerts and plays, which are a truly unique experience!

Agatha Christie, Queen of Crime, was born in Torquay in 1890 and you can follow in her footsteps by walking through the town along the Agatha Christie Mile.Take a trip out to Greenway, her beloved holiday home or visit the UK’s only dedicated Agatha Christie

exhibition at Torquay Museum. Discover the Potent Plants Garden at Torre Abbey, which also happens to be the location of the hugely popular International Agatha Christie Festival every September.

The National Trust is one of our most respected partners when it comes to preserving the English Riviera’s heritage, and you’ll be spoilt for choice with plenty of historical houses and gardens to explore.

Make time to visit Cockington Court; a craft centre with a difference. Set in an award-winning country park only a mile away from Torquay seafront, Cockington Court is a historic manor house with over twenty craft studios, tea rooms, the Walled Art Garden, a Tudor rose garden, contemporary art gallery and a popular children’s play area.

For the best beach action and more Paignton is such a fun-filled destination that we believe it should be right at the top of everyone¹s bucket (and spade) list! Famous for its colourful beach huts, heritage steam train and award winning beaches. You can choose between the sandy stretches of Paignton and Preston Sands or try a spot of rock pooling at Goodrington.

Go wild at Paignton Zoo voted third best zoo in the UK by TripAdvisor or if the kids fancy getting wet, head for Splashdown@ Quaywest, the UK’s largest outdoor water park. Children can burn off some energy at the fantastic free GeoPlay Park.

All aboard for a nautical experience!

Life in Brixham has always centred around the historic harbour and heritage trawlers.

Home to the world famous Brixham Fish Market and many a tale of pirates and smuggling, this colourful working fishing port is a beautiful place with the most incredible scenery.

Watch the local fisherman landing their daily catch on the harbour or even better book one of the early morning fish market tours and follow it all the way from the sea to your plate.

There’s plenty to see and do here with a spectacular programme of award-winning events, festivals and markets in addition to a great choice of accommodation, independent shops and new restaurants offering a wide choice of food and drink.

Climb onboard the life-size replica of the Golden Hind and uncover tales of the past at Brixham Battery and Gardens. Breakwater Beach is a favourite spot for scuba diving.
