Brixham

Brixham is still one of the busiest fishing ports in the UK and a working town, but it has much more to offer visitors than that.

Originally a Saxon settlement, Brixham was the landing place of William of Orange during the Glorious Revolution and many of the street names there reflect the town’s history.

Art-lovers will be in their element there, with the town boasting a great range of art galleries featuring local and visiting artists.

One of the major attractions in Brixham is the Golden Hind replica, a fascinating recreation of Sir Frances Drake’s flagship which is sure to enthral all the family.
