Whilst picturesque Cockington offers horse riding and the Devon Rural Skills Centre, and Torre Abbey has it’s ancient ruins, art gallery, pitch & putt, bowling greens and tennis courts, there really is so much to do in Torbay that it would be impossible for us to list everything here.
To provide a flavour of the area we have linked our site to the following local attractions, which we feel, may be of interest to you.
