About
THIS EVENT IS PART OF THE ENGLISH RIVIERA WALKING FESTIVAL
By the beginning of the 20th century Torquay was the richest town in the nation and many of our famous writers and poets visited, or lived in the resort. We will hear of their time in Torquay as we stroll through the glamorous Queen of The English Riviera, a place they (mostly) came to love! Among others we will include Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Mary Shelley, Robert Louis Stevenson, Charles Dickens, Lord Tennyson, Agatha Christie, James Joyce, and TS Eliot.
