The beautiful coastline here can be explored either by foot on the coast paths or by taking a trip on the ‘Brixham Belle', which sails to Dartmouth, Paignton and Torquay. Brixham is a great place for a dog friendly holiday and with the South West Coast Path nearby, there are plenty of beautiful trails through woodland and cliff tops for you and your dog to enjoy. 

If you're looking to get out and explore the town, Brixham provides an ideal location for your holiday activities.

Another popular stop is the National Trust's Coleton Fishacre a 1920's country house with Art Deco interiors and resplendent gardens. Wander through the valley-hugging gardens and end it with a stunning sea view.
