The annual festival really brings the Geopark to life, with an amazing range of activities to enjoy, from walks and talks, to arts and educational events, and even Geopark Cruises to experience our stunning natural heritage from the best vantage point - the sea

Torbay Sail Past - Monday 27th May
A large flotilla of sailing and motor craft will be forming a sailpast in the Bay to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the Torbay Royal Regatta and the 150th anniversary of the Royal Torbay Yacht Club. Good vantage points around Haldon Pier and Beacon Quay

Of course, as well as these annual events there is so much more to do such as visiting Paignton Zoo, Babbacombe Model Village, Kents Cavern or mooching around the beautiful towns of Dartmouth and Totnes, taking a boat trip across the bay or a ride of the mini London eye wheel which has fantastic views over Torquay.

A day at the Zoo

Invited to a trade day for hoteliers yesterday at Paignton Zoo.  Great opportunity to have an tour so we can pass on information to our guests when visiting.  Paington Zoo is a fantastic day out for all the family and has certainly grown from its hubble opening in 1923.  Today it is home to thousands of animals living across 80 acres and is dedicated to education and conservation of our wildlife.  Anyone visiting our guest house can pick up discount vouchers for this attraction and also Living Coasts6 ,a small coastal zoo in Torquay housing seals, penguins and other various sea birds.
