Torbay
Torbay has a rich and diverse heritage, spanning a period of many thousands of years. Kent's Cavern in Torquay and Windmill Hill Cavern in Brixham boast some of the earliest traces of man discovered in the country. Archaeological finds from these early dwellings can be viewed at both Torquay Museum and Brixham Heritage Museum. The founding of Torre Abbey in 1196, in what was then remote countryside, brought new found prosperity to the area. Also on church matters, the Bishop of Exeter had a palace at Paignton, fragments of which can still be seen.

Torcross
The winding road leading to a pretty little fishing of Torcross affords wonderful glimpses of Start Bay. Set almost in the crescent of the bay, Torcross is famous for the freshwater lake of Slapton Ley, which lies behind it & which is home to ducks, geese & other waterfowl. By the car park stands a Sherman Tank raised from the nearby seabed in 1984, 40 years after it was sunk in rehearsals for the D-day Normandy landings.
