Great Days Out<br />
Explore our stunning coastline in a plethora of ways<br />
including by heritage steam train, by canoe, by boat or on<br />
foot. Head down to Cockington for a traditional <strong>Devon</strong><br />
cream tea, go wild at Paignton Zoo or discover all things<br />
miniature and marvellous at the Babbacombe Model<br />
village. That’s just the start of your adventure in South<br />
<strong>Devon</strong>’s Beautiful Bay. With more attractions than any<br />
other UK seaside resort, you’re guaranteed to keep busy<br />
all year round, whatever the weather!<br />
Agatha Christie’s Riviera<br />
Agatha Christie, Queen of Crime, was born in Torquay<br />
in 1890. Her beloved <strong>Devon</strong> inspired more than 20 of her<br />
novels and you can follow in Agatha Christie’s footsteps<br />
along the Literary Trail or board a ferry to Greenway,<br />
her holiday home on the banks of the River Dart. Make<br />
sure you visit the Potent Plants Garden at Torre Abbey<br />
and Torquay Museum with its dedicated Agatha<br />
Christie Gallery.<br />

Britain’s Seafood Coast<br />
From award winning fish and chip restaurants to Michelin<br />
starred fine dining, the English Riviera has a wide<br />
choice of culinary experiences to be had, all in stunning<br />
surroundings. Taste the highest quality local Brixham<br />
fish, served just hours after it was caught – you can’t get<br />
fresher than that!<br />
