I liked visiting Babbacombe Downs and visited the Angel Tearooms. The Downs is well maintained. Enjoyed using the Cliff Railway and walking on Babbacombe and Oddicombe beaches. More

We went early May, enjoyed the walk up through the coastal path from Torquay but on a Sunday evening found most places closed, even the public houses, shame really but guess the season not fully started. But in a daytime great views and the beach and cliff railway well worth a visit. More

Picturesque, quiet, but caters for tourists and locals alike, with lots of cafes, bars and restaurants, intermingled with hotels and guest houses, above the beach below. The cable-car is now open for access to Babbacombe Beach. More
