Was the home of Rupert D'Oyly Carte - great house to look around and the wonderful gardens to stroll through with the views of the sea and you can reach the beach if you like that more difficult walk. Dogs are allowed in the gardens. Then you stop off for lunch, coffee etc at the restaurant

Brixham is a stunningly beautiful harbourside town on South Devon’s beautiful English Riviera. Life here has always centred around the harbour, where heritage trawlers jostle for space with day boats heading out to sea for the day’s catch, bringing it home daily to Brixham’s famous Fish Market. Visit the local shops and the fish market and a must try is that locally caught fish & chips
