The day was overcast and had been raining. There was plenty of shops and cafes but mainly of the fish and chips verity. The harbour area was litter free but the car parks took some fiding , as we were strangers to the area. Once found there were plenty of spaces .;

A very pretty harbour with great views of the brightly coloured houses on the hill. Lots to do near by

Loverly compact harbour. Just right for those of you who like it all within reach with the added bonus of there being longer walks if needed.

There is a regular ferry boat from Brixham to Torquay which takes about half an hour and enables you to see the coastline around Torbay. At the moment they are offering a return fare of just £2.00.

Brilliant, tidy , and full of fun and the locals are really welcoming to all passing pirates

Have just had a most fabulous weekend at Brixham pirate festival on the harbour. Music, dancing, reinactments, attractions for children and thousands of people dressed up as pirates. All free to watch. Couldn't fault it - there was something for everyone. A must for next year! - it was great. Brixham is such a fabulous place for all the family.
