Brixham is a major fishing port and the prettiest of the Torbay towns, built on a surrounding horseshoe of land that makes Torquay’s gradients seem like molehills.
Among the trawlers on Brixham’s quayside is moored a full-size reconstruction of the Golden Hind, the surprisingly small vessel in which Francis Drake circumnavigated the world.
The harbour is overlooked by an unflattering statue of William III, who landed in Brixham to claim the crown of England in 1688.
From the harbour, climb King Street and follow Berry Head Road to reach the promontory at the southern limit of Torbay, Berry Head, now a conservation area attracting colonies of nesting seabirds. There are fabulous views, and you can see the remains of fortifications built during the Napoleonic Wars.
The marina, one of the busiest on the South Devon coast, is now home to a fascinating collection of heritage sailing vessels including some of Brixham’s original sailing trawlers.
Life in Brixham centres around the harbour, where we’re reminded that this is still a busy, working fishing port – and part of that fresh catch the fishermen are unloading will probably arrive on your dinner table tonight.
For food, Brixham offers fish and more fish – from the harbourside stalls selling cockles, whelks and mussels to the moderately expensive Yardarms, a semi-formal bar and bistro on Beach Approach, off the quayside. For a relaxed pint, try the Blue Anchor on Fore Street, with coal fires and low beams.
Away from the harbour you can lose yourself in a maze of narrow, winding streets and within walking distance from the town centre you will find some of the English Riviera’s most spectacular scenery.
