Welcome to the
English Riviera
Located in South Devon and comprising the towns of Torquay, Paignton and Brixham, The English Riviera is a walker’s paradise. Its sheltered position, mild climate and numerous walking trails through verdant woodlands, along winding coastal paths and hidden tracks, provides the perfect destination for walkers of all abilities.
Not only does the stunning South West Coastal Path meander along our coastline, The English Riviera also holds the accolade for being an UNESCO Geopark. There are 140 Geoparks in the World and ours is the only seaside resort with this status.
With all this natural beauty on our doorstep, we are eager to share it with you. Our new Festival offers a mouth-watering mix of walks and talks that will entertain and inform in equal measures. The walks are hosted by experienced tour guides, but the web site also contains a selection of self-guided walks which you can enjoy at your own leisure.
It’s simple to take part….either go to the ‘Programme Festival’ page, ‘Walks’ page or ‘Talks’ page to choose your preferred events. Spaces are likely to fill quickly, so put your best foot forward and start booking!
