This year we managed to squeeze in a week at the very end of August down in Brixham, and in the process discovered a few more local attractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For starters, did you know there’s a (rather excellent) vinyard within a few minutes drive (or a rather longer walk) of Brixham? Neither did we, but having discovered Sandridge Barton and their wine tasting tours<\/a> we’re sure we’ll be going back !<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They’ve also got a fabulour-looking restaurant onsite too, which we didn’t manage to visit – so there’s a lunch date in the countryside in our calendar for next time we are here as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We of course also did the walk along the Coast Path to Broadsands and onto Goodrington – it goes without saying that Fishcombe and Churston coves were lovely as ever this summer, and that we saw a few seals along the way too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later in the week we took a ferry across to Paignton harbour, and then completed the walk round to Torquay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paignton Harbour is a bit of a hidden gem around these parts, with a scenic (and very tidal) boat-filled harbour surrounded by a lot of really nice pubs and restaurants, so when the Brixham-Paignton-Torbay ferry is running<\/a> (on its round-robin route – we suggest calling them to check which time it leave Brixham as their website is a bit confusing!) it’s very much worth the trip, and doubly so as it makes the walk to Torquay a lot shorter when you start in Paignton! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This section of the coast walk is much better in terms of being a hard-standing “path”, but as it snakes under, over and around the Dartmouth Steam Railway<\/a> track it doesn’t skimp on the “ups and downs” – the result being a whole series of stunning views across Torbay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were also lucky enough to be crossing a bridge over the railway tracks when a steam train came past underneath!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope you’ll be able to enjoy some of these stunning views, and take some even better photos of your own when you next come to visit us down in Brixham<\/a>! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
