About Torquay

Torquay anchors Devon's English Riviera, reached via the A380 from the M5 at Exeter. The A379 coastal route links Paignton and Brixham, whilst the A3022 serves Newton Abbot. Its seven hills overlook Tor Bay, where Gulf Stream influences create a microclimate supporting palm trees year-round. Over 40 EV charging points serve the town centre and harbour areas. Kents Cavern contains Britain's oldest human remains, discovered in limestone caves dating back 40,000 years.
