Learn more about hotels in Torquay

Best known as part of the unitary authority area of Torbay, Torquay was originally a humble fishing and agriculture town before its transformation into a chic, fashionable seaside resort in the 19th century. The town's salubrious climate and magnificent coastal scenery earned it the epithet of 'the English Riviera', a fit comparison to the sun-kissed charm of the Italian original.

Bursting with cultural and historical nuggets, Torquay is the birthplace of famed writer Agatha Christie. A walk along the Agatha Christie Mile reveals some fascinating insights into the life and works of the queen of crime. Additionally, the splendour of Torre Abbey, a Premonstratensian monastery founded in 1196, and the ancient Kents Cavern, where hand axes dating back 40,000 years have been unearthed, make Torquay a history lover's paradise.

When to visit Torquay

For an invigorating mix of warmth and comfort, the ideal time to visit Torquay would be late July when the weather hovers around a perfect 21.7°C. However, pleasant weather is not an exclusive feature during the summer months. With its incredible microclimate, Torquay enjoys mild and wet winters, making off-season holidays a wonderful option as well.

The months of September, April, and June guarantee lower rainfall, ensuring that your seaside strolls and explorations do not have to be intermittent. High-season tourism is noted in the months of July, May, and September. Whenever you choose to visit, expect to be greeted with delightful weather, enchanting attractions, and charming streets.
