A classic English harbour town with pastel coloured fishermen's cottages clinging to the hill in crooked rows. There's a swanky marina complete with restaurants and bars, a choice of beaches and a saltwater outdoor swimming pool. The beautiful coastline here can be explored either by foot on the coast paths or by taking a trip on the Brixham Belle', which sails to Dartmouth, Paignton and Torquay.
Teignmouth has all the attractions of a seaside town, including a Victorian pier, together with the fascinating activity of a working port - large ships, fishing vessels and pleasure craft move between the sea and the estuary.
Shaldon is an unspoilt village situated on the mouth of the river Teign between Torquay and Teignmouth. It has a thriving livelyhood based on the estuary. On a clear day, Portland Bill can even be seen despite being 50 miles away. A pretty village with two churches, a boutique, butcher, coffee shop and many conserved areas for all to enjoy.
Newton Abbot has a long, rich history in many different trades, from wool and leather in medieval times to the locomotive industry in the Victorian era. All have left their mark on the town, which has an interesting architectural legacy, including plenty of well-preserved, imposing Victorian buildings. Now, Newton Abbot is more geared towards leisure; a much-loved race course, no less than three public parks and England's only traditional malthouse that is open to the public – and yes, you can sample the ales!
Families have been flocking to Paignton for generations to enjoy a traditional English seaside resort. Much loved by the Victorians, the pleasures of Paignton have changed little – sand castle building, picnics on the beach and a dip in the sea. Paignton Zoo has a world-wide reputation for its conservational aims and offers an excellent day out for animal lovers; state-of-the-art enclosures afford the animals greater freedom to exhibit natural behaviour, which in turn makes for an exciting display for visitors.
