Torre Abbey Museum

“The Royal Terrace Gardens, known locally as Rock Walk, are situated beneath the towering cliff of Waldon Hill, which overlooks the sea front, and is one of the Wonders of Torquay. Rock Walk is a network of paths with Mediterranean planting throughout. Also from here, you are greeted to magnificent views of the princess, the Harbour and as far away as Berry Head. ”

“Slighly pricy and aimed at the Rich and trendy. The road down is a bit tortuous and we wouldn't advise taking your car in summer although there is a small car park. You can walk down through Walls Hill or down the road, but take care, it's very steep and very narrow in places. However, it's probably well worth the effort. We only go in winter when it's quiet. You can also walk along to Oddicombe beach from here and tale the cliff railway back up the steep cliff route. ”

“A great place to visit at any time of the day. They offer a range of breakfast and lunch options. A couple of nights a week they also offer al fresco evening dining - a great opportunity to watch the sunset with a glass of wine, enjoying some delicious food. Tables are very limited however so we would advise you book this in advance. ”
