Torquay esta localizada em Torbay e compõe juntamente com Paignton e Brixham a Riviera Inglesa. As tres cidades formam um único balneário de praias arenosas e águas azuis. Vale a pena conhecer. Da Estação de Paddington em Londres pega-se o trem da Great Western e em pouco mais de duas horas chega-se à região de Devon. O passeio é lindo e o viajante recomenda, principalmente para os fãs da Rainha do Crime!
