Torquay is Devon and Cornwall's premier resort with a sophisticated charm that attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. In the last century, Torquay was internationally renowned as a fashionable haven for the rich and famous. No one was more famous that Agatha Christie who was born here in 1890, and referred to many places in this area in her best selling books.
Today, white villas, superb coastal scenery, excellent beaches and 'sub tropical' gardens sit alongside new developments such as the Torquay Marina and the Riviera Centre. Also, the unique new attraction of Living Coasts takes the visitor to coastal habitats around the world, and introduces you to their plants and animals in a stunning coastal setting.
Further out, Torquay is surrounded by some first class attractions including Cockington Village, Babbacombe Model Village and Kents Cavern, a famous archaeological site with a spectacular cave system.
