Brixham forms part of Torbay. Brixham is a historic fishing port at the
southern end of Torbay. The town has built its holiday and business
infrastructure around this ancient port and its heritage. In 1688, Brixham
had its place in the English Revolution as Prince William of Orange landed
at the port on his way to claim the throne of England as King William III.
Brixham is also famous for "Abide with Me", the well known hymn, written by
Henry Francis Lyte.
It is the harbour of Brixham however, together with its narrow streets and
colourful cliff cottages that bestows its unique nature and fascination. For
anyone interested in maritime history, aquatic sports, or the freedom of sky
and shoreline, then Brixham will satisfy your every desire! It is not too
hard to imagine the infamous Devon smugglers using one of the many coves and
inlets to land their booty in and around Brixham or the fishermen enjoying a
much needed refreshment in one of the many quaint watering holes after weeks
at sea. To visit the other towns of Torbay there is a regular ferry and
pleasure boat service which runs across the Bay to Torquay during the summer
season, linking Brixham to its bigger brother, Torquay and its sister town
