A holiday on the English Riviera promises a great time anytime. This sun-soaked stretch of Devon’s beautiful bay links the resorts of Torquay, Paignton and Brixham. Together they form one of Britain’s most loved coastal escapes.
The English Riviera enjoys 22 miles of glorious coastline. Award-winning beaches sit beside unspoilt countryside. After dark, the mood shifts to fantastic restaurants and sparkling nightlife.
Why the English Riviera shines all year round
This corner of South Devon boasts more top attractions than any other UK resort. It is also the birthplace of Agatha Christie. As a UNESCO Global Geopark, its landscape tells a story millions of years in the making.
Foodies will feel right at home, too. The bay proudly carries the title of England’s Seafood Coast. Fresh catches arrive daily at bustling Brixham harbour.
Family adventures across Devon’s beautiful bay
Paignton Zoo invites visitors into the wild. Its 80-acre grounds are home to over 2,500 animals. Meet orang-utans, lions, tigers, camels and even an African elephant.
History lovers should head to Kents Cavern. These prehistoric caves rank among Europe’s finest Stone Age sites. They truly need to be seen to be believed.
Cockington Court Craft Centre offers something gentler. Here, skilled artisans create handmade ceramics, woodwork and glass-blown gifts. It makes a charming afternoon out.
Time to relax and explore on foot
For pure indulgence, book a day at the Cary Arms & Spa in Torquay. Soothing treatments come with spectacular coastal views. It is the perfect treat for a loved one.
Walkers and cyclists will adore the parks, woodlands and trails. Many form part of the famous South West Coast Path. Country pubs and waterfront bars wait along the way.
Four-legged friends are welcome, too. The bay offers plenty of dog-friendly facilities and quality accommodation. So everyone can join the fun.
