For adrenaline junkies there is plenty to challenge you with coasteering, sailing, scuba diving and hiking.

Strolling and Walking the South West Coast Path
There’s a host of pretty coastal and woodland strolls to choose from, offering spectacular views and a treasure trove of hidden coves and tranquil settings. Walkers will love the wonderful South West Coast Path, which meanders west along beautiful Babbacombe Bay, around the stunning headland of Hope’s Nose, past beautiful Thatcher Rock and eventually leads via a breathtakingly beautiful and circuitous route towards Torquay. Alternatively, go east past Torquay Golf Club to enjoy the spectacular views across Lyme Bay to Maidencombe Beach, Labrador Bay and beyond. Why not plan a fascinating walk along England’s Seafood Coast?

The extensive labyrinth of caverns, 400 million year old rocks and spectacular stalagmites and stalactites are quite awe-inspiring. There’s also a gift shop and café – open year round.
