    Torquay Facts – Did you know…

    1. Jaw Bone
      The oldest human remains in Britain were found the the town. The jaw bone dates back to 44,200 BCE.
    2. D-Day
      23,000 men sailed from Torquay for the D-Day landings in June 1944.
    3. The Road to Somewhere
      Despite the (wonderful) lack of overly congested traffic routes, Devon actually has 8,000 miles of roads, more than any other county.
    4. The Cornish Devon Pasty
      The Cornish pasty comes from Devon not Cornwall. The earliest recorded recipe is over 500 years old and came from a recipe book in Devon. Warning; Never repeat that fact to a Cornishman.
    5. Mysterious Girl
      Born in Torquay, writer Agatha Christie retained her links to the area throughout her life and work. In 1938 she bought a holiday home, Greenway House, near Brixham and many of her novels were set in Devon such as And Then There Were None.
    6. Literary Celebration
      Devon still celebrates its world-famous author. As well as the Agatha Christie Trail, her former home which she described as “The loveliest place in the world”, is open to the public.
    7. Pretty Poetry
      The poet, Elizabeth Barrett (“How do I love thee, let me count the ways…”) also lived in Torquay.
    8. Cream THEN Jam
      The battle of the cream teas is so hotly disputed it’s a wonder the UN haven’t stepped in. Is it jam or cream first? Devon and Cornwall have been at loggerheads over this very topic for years, both claiming theirs is the only way. The very definition of a ‘food fight’.

    About

    The area has been inhabited since the Palaeolithic era. The first major building constructed in Torre Abbey, founded in 1196. In the 1970s the town was immortalised in the iconic Fawlty Towers starring John Cleese. Another claim to fame is writer Agatha Christie who was born and raised in the town. Its mild climate and beautiful beaches have given Torquay the nickname the English Riviera.

    Leisure

    There’s an abundance of attractions and places to visit. Beaches, bays and coves to explore, fishing trips, nature cruises, coasteering, paddle-boarding and all kinds of new experiences to try.

    There are two theatres, a cinema and plenty of independent shops. Foodies are spoilt for choice with more tea rooms and restaurants then it would be healthy to visit in a single calendar year (although we’d be willing to try!).

    If you’re looking for a new passion once you’re in your new home, there’s a wide variety of groups and societies for cooking, pottery, painting, photography, sports and all kinds of interests open to experienced hands and first-timers.
