My wife and I love Brixham and have been going there almost yearly in June ( amongst other places ) since 2011 taking our touring caravan down there for a few weeks from Leigh near Wigan. Lovely as your video is there is a lot more in the area you don't mention. Berry head is good for a few hours as is the regular ferry trip to Torquay. Dartmouth is also nearby and a train trip on the steam railway to cross on the ferry to there from Paington is lovely. There is a little theatre in Brixham that has regular productions and a few years ago we went to see a burlesque show there - wipes forehead. Crab sandwiches from those cabins on the Quay are to die for. Occasionally they have artistes performing under the covered area near the pirate ship. You never toured the main shopping street but that is also a worthwhile walk. During our most recent trip there we were in our caravan staying on a THS at the rugby club for about £12 per night - cheap as chips. For years there used to be an old lady dressed all in black who frequented the port area and was often pushing a supermarket trolley containing her worldly goods - homeless I expect. We sometimes contributed to her plight. The last time we visited Brixham there was no sign of her and I wondered what happened to her. You never showed the steps on Temperance Place - not for the feint hearted or vertigo sufferers. Love Brixham

I first visited a friend in Brixham last summer 2022. My partner and I were blown away by how pretty it was but also how incredibly dog-friendly it was too. We've bought a bungalow overlooking the harbour for our retirement in 5 years. If you have dogs the South West Coastal path is brilliant in the Spring.

One of my favourite places to visit on a day trip. But while the road closures on the outskirts making the bus journey too long will be going elsewhere. Told its only for three months but no one believes that as never has any roadworks in Torbay kept to the timescale. Probably will still be sorting them out in 6 months time if the residents are lucky.

Brixham Belle was built in 1960 as a 'Gentleman's Motor Yacht' in Cowes and named George Henry. The gentleman concerned could not pay for her on completion and the builder converted her to a passenger excursion boat in order to sell her on quickly and cut his losses. She was 48 gross tons and carried 120 passengers. Brixham Belle was operated out of Brixham for many years by Ernie Cudd and family who mainly ran excursions to Dartmouth and up the river Dart during the day and 'Illuminations Cruises' around Torbay after dark. She was much loved by holiday makers and locals alike. After Ernie retired, she stayed in the family for a while with his son-in-law (I think) as skipper. Eventually she was sold to Peter Scott and became the founding vessel for his 'Brixham Belle Cruises'. He kept her until he bought Brixham Belle II (formerly Devon Princess III then Torbay Princess II and now Western Lady VII). Brixham Belle is now in Gibraltar with Dolphin World, still in daily use on dolphin watching trips and still named Brixham Belle.
