Torquay Harbour & Princess Gardens
Torquay Harbour
The palm-lined heart of the 'English Riviera', where a marina, subtropical gardens and the Agatha Christie Mile link together.
Torquay Harbour is the heart of the town. The inner harbour is full of yachts, and Victorian buildings along the shore house restaurants and bars, with a footbridge linking both sides of the harbour. Next to it, Princess Gardens are planted with palms and subtropical plants, beside Princess Pier and the pavilion-style Princess Theatre. The Agatha Christie Mile trail runs along the seafront, linking sites connected with the writer's life, such as the Imperial Hotel where she spent her honeymoon and the former pharmacy where she worked early on. The harbour also has seasonal ferries to Brixham and Dartmouth, and boats for seal-watching trips. Free.
