While its domed pavilion
has been transformed into a shopping centre,
Torquay has many traditional and historic
delights, including a fine row of terraced
homes dating to the 19th century,
the medieval gatehouse of Torre Abbey and a
tithe barn which held foreign prisoners in the
wake of the ill-fated Spanish Armada in 1588.
Nearby 14th century Compton Castle
is now a National Trust property. |
