Amazing Attractions near Torquay

The English Riviera has been a holiday favourite for generations and you'll still find all the classics here today, like deck chairs, sandcastles and ice creams on the prom. But dig a little deeper and you'll discover plenty of surprising attractions too!

Hidden near Torquay's palm tree-lined seafront, lies the vast Kents Cavern, a UNESCO geo-park that was once home to bears, hyenas and ancient humans!

Further south, explore Brixham, one of Britain's busiest fishing ports, and the watersports hub of Dartmouth. While to the west, the outdoor adventures of Dartmoor National Park await, including the awe-inspiring Becky Falls.
