The English Riviera, Devon
- Located in Devon, South West England, England
- Over twenty miles of coastline, beautiful beaches, blue-green seas, boats, exotic flora and a mild climate shape the English Riviera on the Devon coastline. Roughly speaking, the English Riviera is the horseshoe of coast around Tor Bay running from Babbacombe Bay in the north down to Brixham and Berry Head in the south. An exceptionally popular UK holiday destination, the English Riviera incorporates the towns Torquay, Paignton and Brixham. Given that it's one of the UK's most popular tourist destinations, the area is packed with attractions. Running north to south, attractions include:
- Babbacombe Model Village
- Bygones
- Babbacombe Cliff Railway
- Kents Cavern
- Living Coasts
- The HiFlyer Balloon
- Torre Abbey
- Cockington Village and Country Park
- Occombe Farm
- Paignton Pier
- Paignton & Dartmouth Steam Railway
- Paignton Zoo
- For beaches, we'd recommend:
- Goodrington Sands
- Paignton Beach
- Broadsands Beach (The English Riviera)
- Brixham Breakwater Beach
- Meadfoot Beach
- Anstey's Cove
- Babbacombe Beach and Harbour
- Oddicombe Beach
- There are plenty of more secluded coves from which to choose, too
- The English Riviera is also a Geopark of international importance. One way in which you can explore this Geopark is by walking the South West Coast Path. The long distance path runs through the English Riviera offering some pretty extraordinary views
- Paignton Harbour, Torquay Marina, Brixham Inner Harbour and Brixham Marina and Outer Harbour are great places to watch people and boats
