Things To Do
The Torcroft is situated in an excellent location on a very quiet road, which guarantees guests are relaxed and enjoy a peaceful surrrounding during their stay. We are just a few minutes stroll from The Bay, Torre Abbey and Abbey Sands which offers several restaurants and bars. A few more minutes along the beautiful promenade are the Princess Theatre, Torquay town centre, Marina and walks along the Jurassic coast.
The Torcroft is a great place from which to explore Torbay and the surrounding area, as it is easy to leave the car and enjoy a walk or access local transport. The Torcroft is a great base for day trips, many of which can be easily reached within an hour or less. Places of interest include Paignton Pier and Zoo, Dartmouth, Cockington Village and Brixham. Totnes, Exeter and Plymouth are all an easy drive too and the South West Coastal Path passes through Torquay, an ideal place to stop over en route.
More information about Torbay and the surrounding areas, including a What's On calendar, can be found on the English Riviera website at www.englishriveria.co.uk
