And Devon’s famous English Riviera, a designated UNESCO Global Geopark, is the perfect base to experience it all.- The English Riviera is a designated UNESCO Global Geopark in South Devon. It is one of only eight in the UK and 140 in the world. A geopark is an area of globally recognised unique geological interest with fascinating landscape, coastlines and places.
- There's a huge choice of attractions in the Bay including renowned caverns, a model village, a steam train, a zoo, a huge waterpark, Agatha Christie’s famous riverside home and more.
- Devon’s beautiful English Riviera with its popular resort towns of Torquay, Paignton and Brixham has quite a renowned micro`climate and a very sheltered Bay, great for all types of outdoor fun.

- If you love animals and wildlife then Devon’s English Riviera has a host of attractions just for you. There are lots of places to explore that will create wonderful memories to take home.
- The beautiful English Riviera has a fascinating history and is a very exciting location for the heritage enthusiast.
