1st - Red Day

Today is a photoblog theme day and the theme is red, so here is my daughter having fun on the RED bumperboats at Trago Mills funpark/superstore.

30th - Trago Mills


This is actually a shop first & foremost, with a funfair in the grounds. I am not sure whether they built the funfair to keep the kids occupied or was it built to drain even more money from people's pockets?

Inside Torquay pavillion - this used to be a former theatre but is now a small shoping mall home to twenty or so independant retailers & food outlets.

27th - Woodlands

This photo is taken at Woodlands, which is an adventure park on the outskirts of Torbay. Almost no mechanical rides exist here, but the kids love it and it does tire them out.

26th - Harbour Walk

A very quiet harbourside today, although many parts of the UK are flooded out we have survived relatively unscathed. It has certainly put off the tourists though.

25th - House On The Hill

The house pictured is perched high above Torquay town centre and the occupants must have superb views in all directions.

Taken last winter, Torquay iluminations in full swing. Not exactly Blackpool but still quite impressive.

The clocktower which stands on Torquay harbourside.

20th - Torquay Inner Harbour

Looking across the inner harbour towards the Clocktower & Torwood St. The bars & clubs around here are usually packed with stag & hen parties throughout the summer months.

This building stands in the grounds of Coombe Cellars pub & restaurant on the banks of the river Teign - a very unusual design!

Yacht for sale if anyone fancies spending a few hundred grand.

17th - Ugly Sisters


No, not the two old women walking past in the photo, the three apartment blocks built above Torquay Harbourside. Unaffectionately known as the "ugly sisters", how they ever got planning permission is a mystery!

16th - Thatched Cottages

This is coombeinteighnhead, a quaint village just outside of Torquay.

15th - Airport At Dawn

This photo is not actually in Torquay, however I was on my way back there! It was taken at 6am at Newcastle Airport (UK) while waiting for a flight.

14th - Railway

If you look closely you can see the railway skirts right alongside the English Channel here, the views along the line between Newton Abbot & Exeter are among the best in the UK.

13th - Harbour Bridge


The new footbridge that connects the north & south piers of Torquay Harbour.
