EXPLORE ENGLISH RIVIERA
WHY IS IT CALLED THE ENGLISH RIVIERA?
The towns of Brixham, Paignton and Torquay make up the coastal region of Torbay. Torbay is also known as The English Riviera due to the fact that in Victorian times visitors used to compare the area to the French Riviera. This section of South Devon has always been well known for its warmer climate and great scenery.
