BRIXHAM
One of the most
picturesque of all the towns in the Torbay
region, Brixham is as popular with artists as
it is with beach-loving holidaymakers. The
village sits high above a harbour where there
is a replica of Sir Francis Drake’s ship ‘The
Golden Hind’. A statue celebrates the fact
that William of Orange landed here in 1688 as
he prepared to become William III. The nearby
promontory of Berry Head has the remains of
fortifications from the Napoleonic Wars while
caves in the area have been inhabited for
thousands of years.
