1. English Riviera UNESCO Global Geopark
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1 reviews
In September 2007 the English Riviera received international recognition for its rich geological, historical and cultural heritage, becaming one of just 57 areas around the world to endorsed by UNESCO and welcomed into both the European and Global Geopark Networks. Since then the Global Geopark Network has grown and as of July 2020 there are now 161 UNESCO Global Geoparks in 44 countries. Situated within the stunning, rolling hills of South Devon, Torbay's geology has created the beautiful coastline of today, which fundamentally links the rich diversity of landscape with wildlife, people and culture.

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. Definitely worth a visit- especially the fantastic Palm house with its 400 varieties of weird and wonderful plants!! Enjoy!!

I live local and love a walk around Oldway mansions grounds. The walk is always beautiful and serene. Its peaceful and the grounds are always cared for beautifully. Its a great place to sit and watch the world go by, to walk the dogs, have a picnic or just to go for a walk. The grounds always have alot of tourists who are also enjoying the beauty. Due to the current COVID and repairs the mansion isn't open to the public but it was a lovely day to spend outdoors. It has free parking in the carpark although there had been apparent talk from the council of putting up parking meters which i think would be a huge shame and i hope it doesn't happen. Beautiful place!
