Guidebook will be completed by 24th April. We have so much to put in it, as there are so many beautiful places nearby, and we have a wealth of local knowledge.

We live high up in Torquay, close to Babbacombe. It is pretty flat to walk to local shops & tourist attractions in Babbacome & St. Marychurch Plainmoor shops is only a few mins walk which has a new Lidl's and numerous takeaways. There is a lovely play park for children in Babbacome, only a few mins away. There is also 'Cary Park', which is only a few mins away too where you can let dogs have a little run around! Walls Hill is a much larger area for walking with your pets with superb sea views, only 15 mins walk away. 5 min drive in the car. It is pretty safe around where we live, we are on a slightly busy road but we are set back so you don't hear much traffic noise.

Experience the charming and characterful village of Babbacombe and be enchanted by its stunning sea views, colourful promenade and picturesque buildings. Boasting a delightful alternative to the hustle and bustle of Torquay, there are still plenty of things to do in Babbacombe for all ages and tastes. Situated on top of the stunning red sandstone cliffs, the village offers holidaymakers an insight into the traditional and olde worlde charm of the English Riviera, South Devon’s beautiful bay. Walk to Babbacombe Beach, have a drink or a meal in The Cary Arms and walk along to Oddicombe Beach where the Cliff Railway will bring you back to the Downs.

Babbacombe Bay on Devon’s English Riviera. In 1846, Queen Victoria wrote: 'It's a beautiful spot... red cliffs and rocks with wooded hills like Italy and reminding one of a ballet or play where nymphs appear — such rocks and grottoes, with the deepest sea on which there was no ripple.' Over 150 years later, it still feels the same as you stand and look across the beautiful bay. The delightful gardens at Babbacombe Downs have attained the prestigious Green Flag award, an international accolade recognising the high environmental standards, excellent visitor facilities and maintenance of the site. A holiday near here in the UNESCO accredited English Riviera Global Geopark is filled with all the ingredients for a magical break – great beaches, wonderful coast path walks, fantastic attractions, exhilarating watersports, a showstopping theatre and fresh local fish and seafood to tempt your tastebuds. Babbacombe offers all the beauty of the English Riviera without the hustle and bustle of the larger resorts like Torquay and Paignton. Our family enjoy lunch at Three Degrees West in Summer - great food and outlook onto the sea. Oddicombe beach is located near to Babbacombe Bay
