We did the Teignmouth round robin trip from Brixham. Great value trip. John our skipper was very knowledgeable and pointed out wildlife & rock formations as we sailed along the coast. After a few hours in Teignmouth we caught the train to Paignton where we got back on board to sail back to Brixham. John and Alvin were great & we wouldnt hesitate to book with them again. They are a small family business and deserve support in these difficult times.

Love Brixham Harbour, a classic English working Harbour surrounded with great pubs and restaurants. You can walk around either side and on discover more beautiful and amazing little beaches with lovely food huts etc. Walk the 1/2 mile breakwater, visit Shoalstone seawater pool, carry on to Berry Head or around past the Fishing boats Quay to Battery Gardens and Fishcombe cove. So much so close!

And a three year old grandson!!! - who really enjoyed it , would have loved to spend much more time reading the facts and filling in the questions to our quiz properly , but a three year old who loves pirates , the boats wheel and lots of cannons made this far too exciting!! Good value and a lovely `pirate ` thing to do in Brixham....I even managed to drill in the name `Francis Drake` so a little history lesson aswell...great effects and loving our history!!
9. Berry Head National Nature Reserve
Overall Ratings

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.
