1. English Riviera UNESCO Global Geopark
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1 reviews
In September 2007 the English Riviera received international recognition for its rich geological, historical and cultural heritage, becaming one of just 57 areas around the world to endorsed by UNESCO and welcomed into both the European and Global Geopark Networks. Since then the Global Geopark Network has grown and as of July 2020 there are now 161 UNESCO Global Geoparks in 44 countries. Situated within the stunning, rolling hills of South Devon, Torbay's geology has created the beautiful coastline of today, which fundamentally links the rich diversity of landscape with wildlife, people and culture.

3. Berry Head National Nature Reserve
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 922 reviews
This stunning headland, with its iconic lighthouse and Napoleonic Fort, is surrounded by water on three sides and offers exceptional views across Torbay and beyond. You can enjoy some superb coastal walks, spot wildlife on land and at sea, or simply relax in the award-winning Guardhouse Café. Our Visitor Centre will tell you all about the Reserve, its history, wildlife and the work of Torbay Coast and Countryside Trust. Do check for opening times during off peak season. This is a must-visit day out and is either a pleasant walk from up from Brixham or short drive to the visitor car park. Dogs are very welcome throughout the site; leads are required in certain areas. Disability access is good with tarmac or laid paths into both the North and South Forts.

What a beautiful place.We were lucky to have glorious sunshine to explore the interesting history and take in the delightful views out to sea and across to Torquay in all its glory.We enjoyed coffee and then a delicious lunch in the pretty,friendly,efficient Guardhouse cafe.The family took the lovely walk up through the woods,but I,with a damaged knee,was very grateful for the easy walk up the path from the well maintained car park.Berry Head had been highly recommended by 2different sets of friends &certainly lived up to their praises.A superb day.
