10 Things to do for Honeymoon in Torquay That You Shouldn't Miss

January 29, 2022 Rosalyn Ihle

Mild ocean breezes, sandy beaches and swaying Torbay Palms give the small English town of Torquay a distinctively Mediterranean feel. More than just a beach spot, Torquay boasts an enormous coastal aviary and the famous Kents Cavern Prehistoric Caves. Agatha Christie spent most of her life here, and the city is now home to multiple film companies. With such a rich literary history, Torquay may be the perfect place to finish writing that novel or screenplay, or just to relax with a good mystery.

Look out for the lesser spotted head gardener and her sidekick who will be more than happy to help you with info regarding the huge range of rare and beautiful plants in the walled garden.

It's always a bit of a surprise going into Cockington straight from Torquay! From hustle and bustle to tranquility. Give yourself a good about of time to look around the park with its lakes and arboretum, its little hidden nooks and crannies, cottages and hideaway. And take time to see the court with its history, displays, gallery and Seven Dials Cafe (associated with Agatha Christy) The church next to the court, which still has its services and weddings etc, shouldn't be missed. Its celebrating it's 950 anniversary 2020 with many events to look out for (don't miss the Hymns and Pimms) Cockington park also boasts a whole hive of arts and crafts nestled in the old stables and new Seachange Centre; from chocolate to glass blowing, blacksmith to mosaic artists, cakes to bouquets. Have fun!

Wednesday 30th October 2019. Wonderful ChristmasTime is a fantastic production that should be watched if you like comedy, singing and dancing. Sami-Jane has a wonderful voice; Lily is a great all-round performer, singing and dancing; Damien's Elvis was great; Dance Fantastique's Cats dance with Lily was brilliant; Phil Lowen's impressions were hilarious, especially Tom Jones. The whole thing was held together by the star, the amazingly funny Andy Oakley. He literally had them rolling in the isles with laughter. A fantastic night from start to finish. BRILLIANT.
