Bygones is a deceptively large attraction and is fascinating throughout, bringing Britain’s past and childhood memories to life. You’ll discover a life-size authentically created Victorian Street, including a forge, sweetshop and apothecary plus a 28-foot model railway, a mock-up of World War I trenches, a 1950s shopping arcade and much more. There’s also a station café and a gift shop.  

St Marychurch is a charming suburb close to the delights of Babbacombe Bay and Torquay.  It’s a lovely place to stay with its delightful pedestrianised precinct and everywhere within easy walking distance. You’ll find lots of independently owned boutiques and family-run businesses here and St Marychurch’s unique personality is why so many people fall in love with the place and come back year after year.   One of the very oldest settlements in South Devon, St Marychurch’s two historic church towers dominate the Torquay skyline.
