Torquay is a beautiful seaside resort located on the English Channel in the English Riviera. It lies 35 kilometres south of Exeter and 60 kilometres north east of Plymouth.  Close to 70,000 residents call this beautiful town home, but that number balloons during the peak tourist season. The bay and area around Torquay has a long history dating as far back as Prehistoric times.  In more recent history though, it was in 1196 that the Torre Abbey was built here.  It took 700 more years for people to really discover the beauty of the bay, and during the Napoleonic Wars around 1801, the town really got started.  People realised just how beautiful this place was, and that it was perfect as a vacation retreat. That feeling has remained right up until today as Torquay is still one of the top vacation hot spots in the UK. To ensure a comfortable stay, find great prices on hotels in Torquay at HRS.com.
