Join us for a walk in Torquay, Devon, England. We walk through Torquay town centre down to Torquay harbour.

Torquay is a seaside town in Devon, England, UK. Torbay's beautiful South Devon coastline is known as the English Riviera. Torquay together with Babbacombe, Paignton and Brixham is one of the top places to holiday in the UK. The English Riviera is most famous for its award winning sandy beaches and exotic palm trees, but has much more to offer than just seaside holidays.

Fleet Walk Shopping Centre is located in the heart of Torquay Town Centre, with the iconic Torquay harbourside found just a short walk away. Fleet Walk Shopping Centre has street-level shops and an upper-level shopping deck. The long, curved building which follows the street is magnolia-coloured and in mock Victorian style. Fleet Walk is home to over 50 of the best high street names together with a mix of specialist and independent shops.

Torquay Harbour is a well-protected yacht haven with access to some of the best facilities in the Southwest. It’s the ideal base from which to explore the English Riviera’s coast. Torquay Harbour has close links with the leisure and tourism industry acting as a base for many boat trips and watersports. In addition to this, it remains a fully operational working harbour and bustling port.

The main outer harbour and Torquay Marina provide both visitor and permanent pontoon berthings. The inner harbour offers additional permanent moorings and is located behind a tidal cill. The cill wall retains the water at low tide level, preventing the harbour from drying out and therefore retaining its attractive appearance. A striking pedestrian footbridge - the Millennium Bridge - spans the entrance to the inner harbour, linking North and South Piers. The style of the bridge reflects the sails of a ship and by night it is lit up providing an eye-catching backdrop to the area.

Torquay’s harbour lies at the heart of the town and is only a short walk from a wide variety of facilities. Restaurants to suit all pockets surround the harbour, from locally sourced fish and chips to Michelin starred dining. To the west of Torquay Harbour lies the Princess Theatre and Torre Abbey Sands.

Torquay inner harbour is surrounded by a mixture of shops, cafes, restaurants and bars, establishing the harbour area as the main hub of the town. The vibrant atmosphere and picturesque setting of Torquay harbour and marina provides an ideal setting for a great number of exciting activities. At night time, the Inner Harbour area is also a great place to come for drinks, as there are many lively bars here.

The popular British television sitcom Fawlty Towers was set in a fictional hotel in the seaside town of Torquay on the English Riviera. Although the series is set in Torquay, no part of it was shot in South West England.

The writer Agatha Christie was born in Torquay and lived at Ashfield in Torquay during her early years. There is an "Agatha Christie Mile", a tour with plaques dedicated to her life and work.
