Walking tour: Brixham, the inner harbour

5.0

Duration: 2 hours 30 minutes

The tour gives a unique insight into the history and heritage, the diversity, the people, the tragedies and the successes that helped make Brixham what it is today. Having lived in Brixham for over 10 years I've made it my mission to understand its mindset, what makes it tick and connect with its people who seem to have this habit of bouncing back from adversity. Hours of research have ensured that I've uncovered nuggets of information not available elsewhere and old photographs that will take you back in time and enable you to empathise with Brixhams' historic past.

Beaches · Theme Parks · Gardens

One of England’s favorite summer vacation destinations, Devon features two very different coastlines, both of which are packed with white sandy beaches known for their turquoise waters and near-perfect surfing conditions. Numerous resort towns and sheltered harbors provide lots of holiday options, many of which have retained their old-world appeal in the face of modernization and attract tourism from all over the country and across the globe. Get away from the tourist crowds by venturing deeper into the region’s countryside, which is dotted with sleepy villages and sweeping green pastures. Devon’s country inns and traditional pubs are well known for offering holidays full of hearty regional cuisine, as well as charming their guests with quintessential Devonian hospitality and good humor. Make your own Devon vacation itinerary, with a little help from those that know the place like the back of their hands, by using our United Kingdom trip planning tool.
