General

With tourism considered to be a major industry in the area, fishing however provides Brixham’s main income and if you would like to visit a traditional British fishing port with quality and style and yet still have your every holiday need satisfied, then it’s time to travel to this English Riviera resort on the South Devon coastline. The town is proving to be a specialist attraction to those who like to see the "real thing" and not some melted down version created inside a theme park. The boats still come in on a daily basis with the fresh catch and it is on your plate by the evening.

The attractions in the area are sensitively styled and managed and the Heritage Museum will astound with the seafaring history of the area, which includes the invasion of Britain by William of Orange, the Spanish Armada battle, the influence of Sir Francis Drake, impossible to believe that so much and more occurred on these waters. Of course, Agatha Christie recognised this in the last century, gaining inspiration from the rugged coastline and intriguing history of the place where she passed the long, balmy summers in her life.
