Torquay is a town in the unitary authority area of Torbay and ceremonial county of Devon, England. It is south of Exeter, north-east of Plymouth and adjoins the neighbouring town of Paignton on the west of the bay. Torquay has the third largest settlement in Devon. The town's economy was initially based upon fishing and agriculture, but in the early 19th century the town began to develop into a fashionable seaside resort. Renowned for its healthful climate, the town earned the nickname of the English Riviera. Torquay was the home of the writer Agatha Christie, who lived most of her life there. The town contains an "Agatha Christie Mile", a tour with plaques, dedicated to her life and work. There are several attractions in store for you on your Torquay holiday:
