About Torquay

Torquay is an ocean side town in Devon, England, some portion of the unitary expert region of Torbay. It lies 18 miles 29 km south of the area town of Exeter and 28 miles 45 km east-north-east of Plymouth, on the north of Tor Bay, bordering the neighboring town of Paignton on the west of the narrows and opposite the angling port of Brixham.

The town's economy, as Brixham's, was at first dependent on angling and horticulture, yet in the mid nineteenth century it started to form into a popular shoreline resort, at first frequented by individuals from the Royal Navy amid the Napoleonic Wars while the Royal Navy tied down in the cove. Afterward, as the town's distinction spread, it was famous with Victorian culture. Prestigious for its gentle atmosphere for the U.K., the town earned the epithet the English Riviera.

The author Agatha Christie was conceived in the town and lived there amid her initial years and there is an "Agatha Christie Mile", a visit with plaques devoted to her life and work. The zone containing present day Torquay has been possessed since Paleolithic occasions. Hand tomahawks found in Kents Cavern have been dated as 40,000 years old, and a maxilla part, known as Kents Cavern 4, might be the most seasoned case of a cutting edge human in Europe, going back to 37,000– 40,000 years prior.
