  • Torquay Waterfront a Short Heritage Walk
    Company Tourism Riviera English of courtesy Image Torquay waterfront A short heritage walk Start at Torquay Railway Station. When the railway line was constructed it originally terminated at Torre Station (then called Torquay) which opened in December 1848. The line to Paignton opened eleven years later on 1 August 1859. The original station was described in some quarters as “a third rate station not worthy of the resort” and was rebuilt in 1878. Head for the sea front and, with the bay on your right, amble towards the harbour. On your left you’ll have a view of Torre Abbey, founded in 1196 and later home to the Cary family. The Spanish Barn was built in the early thirteenth century, but picked up its name after it was used to house prisoners from the Spanish Armada. One of the prisoners was the fiancée of one of the crew, who disguised herself as a sailor. Incarcerated with the other 396 prisoners, she died in the squalid conditions, and the ghost of The Spanish Lady supposedly roams the grounds to this day. You can also look out to sea and visualise some of the important maritime events that the people of Torquay would have seen from here at various points in the town’s long history. From Napoleon’s arrival in the bay in 1815 as a prisoner aboard HMS Bellerophon, to the presence in July 1910 of the Atlantic, Mediterranean and Home Fleets, which were in Torbay to be reviewed by King George V after the location was changed from Penzance due to bad weather.

    Discover Photographers from top: John Lacey, Julia Amies-Green and Bob Small The Seafood CoastPhotographer: © English Heritage Discover The Seafood Coast Torbay and the English Riviera • Torquay, Paignton and Brixham Fresh fish, a funicular railway and Stone Age caves at Babbacombe MORNING Start your day in Torquay. From here you can either Babbacombe drive or hop on the No.22 bus for the two-mile journey (3.2km) to one of Britain’s highest clifftop promenades at Babbacombe. Soak up staggering sea views on the fairly strenuous 2.2 mile (3.5km) Babbacombe and Oddicombe Walk. Swap the steep descent from Lady Mount Temple for a ride on the historic funicular railway, and, from Oddicombe beach, gaze up to the mighty compressed layers of sandstone and limestone. Scour Babbacombe Beach for curled shell fossils, then climb the coast path through woodland, pausing for local ales and line-caught seafood at the Cary Arms. AFTERNOON If you want to wallow in the epitome of coastal chic, Kents Cavern linger at the Cary Arms for a soothing spa treatment and a sundowner by the sea. Otherwise, dig deeper into the wonders of this UNESCO Global Geopark at the enthralling Kents Cavern, just a 20 minute stroll (one mile / 1.6km) or a few minutes on the No.22 bus, from the starting point of your walk. In this labyrinth of Stone Age caves, you can discover evidence of ancient humans and clap eyes on 400-million-year-old stalagmites and stalactites. Backtrack to Babbacombe and finish the day with a hearty portion of award-winning fish and chips from Hanbury’s.

This year continued with ongoing difficulties for Torbay, both for struggling town centres and the council which faced £11 million cuts from its budgets imposed by central Government . Councillors and our elected Mayor faced extremely tough decisions regarding the provision of services . With the collapse of HMV, Woolworths and Blockbuster some big names are missing from our high streets, and some smaller traders are operating at just break even and living off savings . I was insistent parking charges were not increased through this difficult budget process as a way to raise income, and I led a process to review them so they suit the needs of the towns and residents .
