 Paignton
|
|
|
Paignton, is part of Torbay,
the English Riviera, and is a family resort with a harbour,
long beaches and parks.
Hotels overlook the sea
and the pier, as well as lots of them inland.
The town has grown since becoming a Victorian resort. The
old town is inland from the beach, the church is of interest,
next to a tower remaining from a former bishops palace.
Lots to do and see, and is ideal for families. Click on the
Official Guide
for latest What's On information. New cinema complex on
the Green next to the theatre on the sea front, with a crazy
golf. The main beach is here. Lots of clubs and pubs, often
with music.
Coastal walks and the gardens on the cliffs are lit up in
summer, try going to the harbour and walking to Goodrington.
If you walk the other way towards Torquay you will get to
Preston Sands.
