The West Country / Devon region
“The Most Beautiful Bay In England” Twenty beaches, a stunning coastline, palms, parks and gardens, great nightlife and entertainment, fascinating history, famous attractions and superb accommodation make the English Riviera the perfect year-round destination.”
Torquay’s continental flair Paignton’s Friendly family appeal Brixham’s maritime tradition The English Riviera enjoys one of the country’s most spectacular locations, set on and around the beautiful Torbay. The 22 miles of coastline contains almost infinite variety, with beaches, coves, ruined fortresses, golf courses, cliff walks, seafront gardens, fishing harbours and marinas.
Behind the façade of a popular coastal resort lies another world of country parks and villages. Situated in a secluded valley between Torquay and Paignton is the world-famous Cockington Country Park.
This also the birth place of Agatha Christie. She was born here in 1890 and lived for many years in the area. We invite you to trace her footsteps and discover just why this region was one of her many sources of inspiration.
Paignton area

Isadora Duncan and Oldway Mansion, PaigntonWe are fed nothing but lies. It begins with lies and half our lives we live with lies"". Said Isadora Duncan who revolutionised the dance world with her bare feet and loose hair. Duncan is often referred to as a key influence on the birth of modern dance. Isadora Duncan connection with Paignton is primarily through her untimely death in 1927. Mythologised somewhat, she died in a car accident on the English Riviera when her scarf caught in the wheel. She was the mistress (Duncan abhorred marriage, commenting ""So that ends my first experience with matrimony, which I always thought a highly overrated performance"") of Singer tycoon Isaac Merritt Singer who owned the sprawling mansion Oldway in Paignton.
Oldway Mansion is open to the public from Mondays to Saturdays, 9am-5pm, and Sundays 2-5pm during the summer months. It's free to get in as well, and there's some rather interesting Singer sewing machines on display - bonus. The garish neoclassical architecture is well worth a look as is the surrounding Italian garden, with accompany stone sphinxes and a croquet lawn. A must do for kitsch lovers. Incidentally,
Paignton & Dartmouth Steam RailwayThe exquisite Torbay coastline is best explored by hopping on one of the great family Devon day out steam trains. The Paignton & Dartmouth seven mile journey takes you along the Torbay coastline, then on through Churston, up through glorious woodland to Kingswear. The sea views are simply amazing on this journey - it's a must - sea views can been seen right across Lyme Bay to Portland Bill on clear days! Take in the River Dart, then all the way down to Dartmouth - it's a fabulous trip with a difference on a steam train!
