Brixham, Devon

Self-styled 'one of Britain's most picturesque and historic harbour towns'.

To the south of Torbay and the southernmost town within The English Riviera. The coastline here runs into the South Devon AONB with the next major destination being Dartmouth.

Brixham's a wonderful place and has a very different vibe to most of the other destinations within the Riviera. There's a stunning inner harbour surrounded by colourful buildings, restaurants, pubs and plenty of shops. Within the harbour is a replica of The Golden Hinde (Devon) (another replica can be found in London). A short walk takes the visitor to the outer harbour and marina with its heritage fishing fleet. Beyond that is Brixham breakwater and lighthouse which offers great views across Torbay and back towards Brixham.

The South West Coast Path runs past the waterfront area of the town on its way south to the Berry Head Forts or north towards Fishcombe Cove and Churston Cove.

William of Orange, later King William III of Great Britain and Ireland, landed here in 1688!
