| Why
Torbay ? |
| Conferences, meetings and events will be impressed by the ‘English Riviera’ – the three Torbay seaside resorts of Brixham, Paignton, and Torquay – a 22-mile-long coastal stretch featuring 20 safe beaches and coves with scores of conference-minded hotels, over 40 leading attractions (e.g. Kent’s Cavern, Paignton Zoo, the 150-acre organic Occombe Farm, and the Agatha Christie Mile - plus exhibition at Torquay Museum). Among further experiences are water pursuits (marina, wreck-diving, harbours, chartering a trawler), and nightlife (fireworks in season, theatres). Brixham appeals for its fishing harbour, cottages, museum, coves and beaches, artists, wooden ‘heritage fleet’ of trawlers; Paignton for its miles of sands, esplanades, pier, Paignton and Dartmouth Steam Railway, water park; and Torquay for its palms, spectacular gardens, Victorian terraces, beaches, Living Coasts attraction (coastal zoo), and the amenities of a top resort. Venues include excellent resort-style hotels of all sizes and standards in or close to each of the three locations, as well as culture/heritage settings and the English Riviera Centre (auditorium to 1500).
Proximity to the scenic River Dart, the South Devon steam railway, remarkable coastal geology (Devonian limestones), Agatha Christie’s Greenway Estate (and gardens – her house to open in 2008), water sports in 16 sq.miles of sheltered bay, beautiful Babbacombe (mini-resort), and Dartmoor (nature, villages, pursuits, archaeology), are further plus points. Conference delegates can reach Torbay easily using the M5/A380, by train, and through flights into Exeter and Plymouth airports.
In conclusion: Torbay offers three resorts in one and is a meetings destination with excellent facilities, a strong selection of venues, and one which offers town, country and coastal options.
