Things to do in Torquay
Below are some suggestions of places you may wish to visit during your break.Princess Gardens
Built in the 1890s, the Princess Gardens are named for Princess Louise, Queen Victoria's fourth daughter, who planted the first stone for the gardens in 1894. The gardens are an expansive Victorian seaside garden with stunning views of the harbour and ocean. The owner of the Torbay Hotel gave the exquisite fountain, which is surrounded by well-kept gardens and has an antique gold and silver colour scheme.
Torre Abbey Sands
Torre Abbey Sands is a beautiful beach with lots of seating areas during low tide and a gentle drop off into the water, making swimming and paddling safe. You can take in the lovely views of Torbay by strolling the entire length of the promenade from Torquay's harbour to Torre Abbey Sands.
Torquay Harbour
Torquay Harbour, one of the most recognisable and lively harbours in the English Riviera, is a bustling area with so many gorgeous boats you could swear you're in the French Riviera! There are plenty of spots for a Devon Cream Tea and a cuppa as well as seating dotted around where you can relax and watch the world go by or the fishing boats come in.
Thatcher Point
Thatcher Point is a fantastic green space with a breathtaking view of Thatcher Rock and out to sea.
People come to Thatcher Point to enjoy the sea views and to see the Rock itself, or to simply walk along the nearby South West Coast Path. The site also has a variety of flora and birdlife.
