Torquay is the largest town in the famed "English Riviera" which also has the collective name of Torbay. The title includes the towns of Torquay, Paignton, Brixham and the villages of Cockington, Galmpton and Churston Ferrers.
In its hayday Torquay was "the" place to holiday, much of the elegance of yesteryear can still be found amongst the modern Torquay. With area such as Wellswood, Babbacombe and the Warberrys still having wonderful Edwardian Villas.
It is still very much a tourist destination today, also very popular with foreign language student who desend on the whole of the English Riviera in their 1000's throughout the summer months.

Thank you for your inclusion of Cockington forge - I must be a privileged mortal to have been given a miniature horseshoe in the 1950s. But please tell me, what are: brass's ? | DaDrifter Fri Sep 30, 2005 05:38 UTC
Just when I thought I had seen them all, I find the best one hidden here :) ... Beautiful page, Nicola! I found all my favourites here - Agatha Christie, Fawlty Tower, John Lee ... Oh and not forgetting the Mars Bar *lol* | am&pm Mon Aug 1, 2005 03:26 UTC
Had fun looking at Babbacombe via the link you put here. I think I wouldn't mind visiting! Dad lived near Torquay a while--therefore I even know how to pronounce it! :) Nice page, thanks! | Daja123 Sun Apr 17, 2005 20:38 UTC
It is an interesting place you described in your presentation. So many different things to be seen in a small place. Thank you Nicola. |
