Consider Welcoming the New Year with a Short Break in Torquay by Sadie Hawkins
Known as the “English Riviera” due to the natural beauty of the South Devon coastline on which it’s located, Torquay has long been a very popular destination for people to come and see in the New Year in style!
The start of a New Year is celebrated all over the world, it’s become one of the most popular times to go away for a short break with family and loved ones. The strike of midnight is often celebrated with a glass of champagne, the joining of hands and a rendition of Auld Lang Syne.
With a continental vibe, Torquay is a great place to enjoy a mulled wine or two in one of the many bars, cafes and bistros that line the promenade around the harbour and marina, or to take a stroll along one of the many beaches or coastal footpaths to blow away the cobwebs.
Torquay has been popular with tourists since Victorian times and is known as the birthplace of world famous bestselling author Agatha Christie, her Greenway Estate near Torquay is now owned by the National Trust and opened to the public.
There are a large number of tourist attractions in and around Torquay including several theatres playing host to opera, ballet, west-end musicals and other top entertainment acts. Kents Cavern is an ancient network of caves containing spectacular stalagmites and the earliest archaeological evidence of humans in North-West Europe. Living Coasts is another popular attraction housing marine animals including seals and several species of penguins.
Since 2007 Torquay and the English Riviera have been designated as a Global Geo-park, an area of outstanding national and international significance. This international recognition for its geological, historical and cultural heritage is one of only 57 such areas around the world endorsed by UNESCO and the only UK Geo-park set in an urban area.
With links by road, rail and air, Torquay is easily accessible and you’ll be spoilt for choice during a short break as there are so many attractions, events and activities to choose from.
