The English Riviera is home to some of the best visitor attractions in the South West including The Real Crime Museum and The Escape Room which are all located on Torquay Harbourside (1.4 miles). Kents Cavern Prehistoric Caves, a gateway site to the English Rivera’s UNESCO Global Geopark (2.5 miles); Babbacombe Cliff Railway (1.7 miles), Babbacombe Model Village (1.8 miles) and Bygones Museum (1.6 miles) are all easily accessible by car or by taking a short bus ride using the frequent No 12 and 22 services which run between Torquay and the neighbouring towns of Paignton (3 miles) and Brixham (8.2 miles). 

Torquay is the birthplace of Agatha Christie, the world’s most famous female crime writer and there are many places with connections to her life and work.  Torquay Museum is home to the country’s only dedicated Agatha Christie gallery (1.5 miles) and the ‘Agatha Christie Mile’ is a must for fans. The one-mile self-guided walking trail celebrates the area’s connection to the ‘Queen of Crime’ and leads you to 12 places of interest and seven plaques to find along the way.

The area is also known as England’s Seafood Coast, home to the UK’s finest seafood and world-famous Brixham Fish Market, where over £40 million worth of fish is landed and sold at auction each year. Early morning tours are available and include a delicious fish breakfast at Rockfish for you to sample some of the freshest seafood available.

The English Riviera is a top seaside destination and a great choice for couples, group breaks, family holidays, weekend and short getaways.  We look forward to welcoming you to Acorn Lodge very soon.
