5 Night Air Holiday
Torquay is the quintessential seaside resort, hugging the coastline in Devon, on the English Channel. It has a sandy beach, palm trees, bustling harbour, international marina, and continental style cafes. As part of the English Riviera, this elegant town has been accredited by UNESCO as a Global Geopark in recognition of its outstanding natural beauty and geology with rocks dating back millions of years. Enjoy a boat trip around the stunning coastline or follow in the footsteps of Stone Age Man at Kents Cavern, a spectacular cave network where you can step back to when this labyrinth was home to ancient humans. Perhaps visit Torre Abbey, a twelfth century monastery with art galleries and an Agatha Christie inspired Potent Plants Garden featuring flora mentioned in the local writer’s novels. This holiday haven has plenty of attractions linked to the ‘Queen of Crime’ including a museum with an exhibition dedicated to Agatha Christie and the Princess Pier boardwalk where she roller-skated in her youth. You will be staying at Torquay’s outstanding Victoria Hotel.
