Found on the ‘English Riviera’ of Devon’s south coast, Paignton is a lovely little seaside resort with colourful beach huts on the prom, a pier and a series of three fab sandy beaches to choose from. Originally a tiny fishing village until the 1800s, Paignton has an enduring family appeal of candy floss and crazy golf but there’s plenty more going on in this vibrant harbour town. From watersports to stately homes, family fun to cycling, golf and horse riding, it’s all here in Paignton.
After browsing the shops and enjoying a cream tea, relax on the sands or enjoy roaming further afield on the many coastal walks or hop aboard the Paignton and Dartmouth Steam Railway. Fabulous Paignton Zoo is right on your doorstep along with fun for everyone at Questwest Waterpark. Heritage lovers head for stunning Oldway Mansion and golfers enjoy the wealth of courses including Torbay Golf Club with scenic views across Lyme Bay.
