Lovely Days Out
Come and join me on my travels
In the sunshine in beautiful Torquay
Torquay is a seaside town in the county of Devon, England. It is located south of Exeter along the A380 on the north of Torba, north-east of Plymouth, adjoining the neighbouring town of Paignton on the west of the bay and across from the fishing port of Brixham. The town's economy was initially based upon fishing and agriculture as in the case of Brixham across Torbay, but in the early 19th century the town began to develop into a fashionable seaside resort, initially frequented by members of the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic Wars while the Royal Navy anchored in the bay and later by the crème de la crème of Victorian society as the town's fame spread. Renowned for its healthful climate, the town earned the nickname of the English Riviera and favourable comparisons to Montpellier.
