TORQUAY - THE QUEEN OF THE ENGLISH RIVIERA The English Riviera is a 22 mile stretch of wonderful South Devon Coastline. And Torquay - often referred to as the 'Queen of the Riviera' - is the main attraction. Rising above the seafront, Torquay is set on seven hills. Elegant Victorian villas peer down at the palm-fringed bay, where sandy beaches, an elegant marina, pavement cafes, ornamental gardens, and designer shops combine to create a true Mediterranean feel. The harbour is the hub of Torquay's picturesque town centre. Here you will find a superb selection of designer shops and waterfront cafes. Shopping and people-watching are the main activities here! Torquay has nine excellent beaches and a sheltered location - making it perfect for bathing. Torquay also has hundreds of places to stay, places to eat, and things to do. Torquay is probably Britain's most complete seaside resort. Whatever you would expect or hope to find at the seaside - Torquay can provide it! |
