Town of
Torquay, Devon
Torquay is a town in Devon, England.
Torquay lies 26 km (16 miles) south of
Exeter along the A380 road on the north of Torbay and adjoins the
neighbouring town of Paignton on the west of the bay.
In the 19th century Torquay became a fashionable seaside resort. Renowned for
its healthy climate, it earned the nickname of the English Riviera.
Torquay is situated on the South West coast of England, forming one third of
Torbay and is primarily on the western side of the bay.
Torquay is also set along a coastline renowned for its beaches, having no
fewer than nine popular beaches. The high standards of water quality and beach
facilities mean that many carry coveted awards, including no fewer than three
European Blue Flags - more than any other resort in the UK. There are nine main
beaches in Torquay, a string of nine beautiful beaches and coves stretched out
along the palm lined coast.
