Top 10 Things To Do on The English Riviera

This surprised us: The English Riviera is exceptional. 

If you’ve never visited, The English Riviera is a stretch of coastline just over twenty miles long in Devon.  To its south is the South Devon AONB.   Major destinations include Torquay, Paignton and Brixham.  It’s also the world’s first urban Geopark which means it has a unique geological history spanning 400 million years.

We walked the The South West Coast Path starting at Berry Head Forts and followed the shape of the coastline through Brixham, Broadsands, Goodrington, Paignton, Torquay and then to Babbacombe.   The views are first class but the walk is also a great introduction to all the things one can do here.

As ever, we’ve created listings of all the things you can do and see in The English Riviera here.  Things to do and see are also geo-located on maps and we’ve taken tens of thousands of photos of the area.  However, to introduce the delights of this area, we’ve created a top 10 list of things to do:

1. Berry Head Forts

2. Brixham Harbour and Marina – home to a replica of The Golden Hinde
