about Torquay
The town of Torquay enjoys a premier location on the sun drenched English Riviera. The city is packed with interesting spots to explore. Lovely teashops, bakeries and a charming craft centre, where visitors can observe the glass blowing process, are among the places worth checking. Nature lovers should definitely see the Thatchers Rock, which is home to a colony of seabirds. Major attraction is the Torre Abbey meadows, the site of a former monastery, now converted into a fine art museum. Furthermore, the nearby Torre Abbey beach is a popular venue not only for beach activities but also for nightlife, theatre and entertainment.
