Nature
Did you know that the English Riviera has 11 Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs), a warm climate in which many continental plant and animal species survive happily and clear seas in which unusual sea anenomes and sponges thrive.
Indeed parts of Torbay are designated as a Marine Nature reserve, one of only three such underwater reserves in the UK.
All these things make the English Riviera one of the prime wildlife and scenic areas of the country with wildlife gems waiting to be discovered, often literally under your feet or j
ust outside your window. Explore the English Riviera's 400 million year history at the Geopark or visit some of the 1200 acres of land managed by the Torbay Coast and Countryside Trust.
For gardening enthusiasts there are over 2,000 acres of public gardens to enjoy. From promenade flowerbeds to country parks, from cliff tops to sleepy woodlands, the diversity and natural beauty the English Riviera will amaze you.
