Neighbourhood information

Paignton is part of Torbay which is famously known as the English Riviera because of our micro climate, White and cream painted buildings and palm trees, we think Paignton is an area where visitors can come and enjoy themselves from beaches, amusements, pier, harbour, theatres and restaurants. We have our own steam railway which we overlook and it runs to Kingswear for Dartmouth, Brixham is our famous fishing Harbour which is just a few miles away and can be reached by a regular bus service or by a boat trip from our own pretty little Harbour, Also close by is the Paignton Zoo very popular and many more places of interest close by.
