Outdoor Activities in Torquay

Torre Abbey Historic House and Gallery, Torre Abbey, Bygones Victorian Museum, Babbacombe Model Village, Cockington Court and Torquay Alpine Ski Club are all recorded with indoor as well as outdoor space. That is six of eight, and it is why this page holds up in a week of squalls when a resort list of the same length often does not.

Torre Abbey and Torre Abbey Historic House and Gallery are held as separate records with the same rating, which usually means one site written up twice rather than two places. Do not plan them as two outings. If you want the detail, look at the individual listings side by side before you decide, and treat the pair as one stop when you are counting how full your day is.

Kents Cavern is recorded on this page as outdoor with no indoor space logged, which does not match what a cave is. Underground sites keep a steady chill whatever the weather is doing above, so take layers whatever the season, and expect rules of their own about buggies and very young children. Ask before you travel with a baby, since those rules differ from site to site.

For most families, comfortably. A week does not need eight days out; it needs two or three good ones with beach and pavement in between. A list this length lets you keep one covered entry unspent for the day the weather turns, which is the most valuable trick a holiday shortlist has.

The Torquay Mystery Treasure Trail has no rating recorded. An absent score is not a poor score; it usually means too few people have written anything up. Self-guided trails suit a family that wants to set its own pace and cover ground on foot, so judge it on whether that is your children rather than on a blank where a number should be.
