Fishing is an important part of the English Riviera’s cultural heritage and local economy. This is England’s famous Seafood Coast with the world-renowned Brixham Fish Market holding the record for England’s most valuable annual catch. Many of the local people have generations of fishermen in their families, and it continues to be an important part of life in the area to this day.
A fishing trip provides an exciting day out for the whole family and newbies will be delighted with the sheer exhilaration that comes from landing your very first fish. Here are some of the options:
