And a three year old grandson!!! - who really enjoyed it , would have loved to spend much more time reading the facts and filling in the questions to our quiz properly , but a three year old who loves pirates , the boats wheel and lots of cannons made this far too exciting!! Good value and a lovely `pirate ` thing to do in Brixham....I even managed to drill in the name `Francis Drake` so a little history lesson aswell...great effects and loving our history!!
2. South West Coast Path - Brixham Breakwater
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 89 reviews
A gentle, predominantly level 0.6 mile walk from the South West Coast Path along the breakwater with panoramic views across the harbour and Torbay. There are two stretches of gradient. The harbour edge does not have a handrail or barrier. There are toilets and plenty of car parking at the start or end of the walk. A cafe provides both refreshments and a panoramic view of Torbay.

Built by the Americans for the launch of the D-day assault in 1944 (just visited after the 75th anniversary celebration) this Pier is very long and has distances marked along it for those enjoying the walk.

If you can handle the climbs and descents to get to this little treasure of a spot it is well worth it. It would make a great place to go snorkelling, sadly the weather was not on our side when we were there. Crystal clear waters, and wildlife in the shape of various sea birds and seals can be spotted.

Just been here yesterday what a wonderful place you feel like lady of the manor going up the drive. I do so hope that it is completely renovated. The Italianate garden is so beautiful and the fountain awesome. Great cafe with reasonable priced food

We didn’t realise that Brixham was the place that William landed. The statue is good. The day we visited though, a pigeon was not showing the reverence due to a member of the Royal Family, by sitting on the King’s head!

This war memorial to the men who gave their lives in support of their country and king consists of grass transported from the battlefields of Belgium and Northern France. It is a fitting memorial located on high ground overlooking the famous harbour.
