The English Riviera

The English Riviera, located in South Devon's Torbay area, consists of the towns of Torquay, Paignton, and Brixham. Known for its mild climate, palm trees, and 22 miles of coastline with sandy beaches and rocky coves, this popular tourist destination is recognized as a UNESCO Global Geopark. It offers family attractions, seafood dining, and a rich maritime history, often compared to the Mediterranean due to its scenery. 

With its sunny, cheerful atmosphere and endless things to see and do, The English Riviera is a fantastic destination for classic seaside fun.

Paignton Zoo

Take a walk on the wildside at this animal-tastic attraction just a short drive from our holiday parks. 'Paignton Zoo' is one of the South West’s most exciting visitor attractions. Get up close to some of the animal wonders of the world across specially designed habitats – from the Savannah to the wetlands and the tropical forest. Run wild in the play areas or hop aboard the unique Jungle Express train to get even closer to the action.

The zoo is also a registered charity and part of a worldwide network of zoos which cares for and breeds rare species thanks to guests who help to fund their conservation work.

Teignmouth & Shaldon

Teignmouth is a delightful seaside town that blends traditional coastal charm with beautiful scenery. Families can enjoy the long sandy beach, historic pier, play areas and bustling promenade, while the scenic back beach offers colourful boats, gentle waters and lovely estuary views. With welcoming cafés, delicious seafood and a laid-back holiday atmosphere, Teignmouth is a fantastic place for a fun and memorable day by the sea.

The historic Teignmouth to Shaldon Ferry is England’s oldest passenger ferry. It can be traced back to 1296 but is likely to be much older with origins in the Saxon era. It crosses from Teignmouth Back Beach to Shaldon Beach and runs every 10-15 minutes in peak times. Shaldon is located just across the Teign Estuary from Teignmouth. This traditional fishing village offers plenty of original cafés, shops, bars plus sheltered Shaldon beach with sailing, fishing, canoeing, rowing and rock pooling.
