SWCP: Brixham to Torquay


The first day of our sojourn to Torbay and the weather was perfect for walking. We left our grim boarding-house in Bridgwater early and drive down to Teignmouth for breakfast. Then parked near our Airbnb in Torquay and got the bus to Brixham.

Churston Cove, through the woods from Brixham

Eberry Cove

The beaches are made of red sand and,

Seclusion


Not tired yet

Eating the blackberries!

The town of Paignton was a bit run-down, but the beach was clean and finely sanded

3pm and only just tucking into lunch - a giant crab sandwich (not made of giant crab though).


They really like their beach huts
all along this stretch of coastline.

I managed to squeeze in my Thursday zoom yoga class when we got back. Ready meal for dinner and an early night. A bit less walking tomorrow and maybe a brave dip in the sea!
