Bay of Lights

Experience

Winter in The Bay

Featured

  1. Snuggling up in front of a roaring log fire with a loved one. Exploring the stunning, wild winter landscape. Or Christmas shopping in the vibrant heart of Torquay. The English Riviera becomes a paradise for foodies, walkers, and shopaholics during the winter months, with lots to discover and do during a winter break.
  2. As the crowds disappear, get outdoors and enjoy our almost uninhabited award-winning beaches, magical woodland walks, rugged cliffs and striking coastline.
  3. Christmas & New Year
    Christmas and New Year are a great time to visit the English Riviera. The attractions in Torquay, Paignton and Brixham put on a glittering selection of events.
  4. Traditional Carvery
    Can there be anything more British than a delicious hearty, homecooked roast dinner or a carvery on a Sunday afternoon any time of year? Of course, it doesn’t only have to be a weekend treat, the English Riviera has an abundance of restaurants, cafes, pubs and inns serving great value, hot meals any day of the week.
