Brixham, a charming coastal town in Devon, England, is known for its picturesque harbor and vibrant fishing industry. With a population of around 16,825, it's one of the main hubs in Torbay.

The town's history dates back to the Saxon period, and it played a significant role during the Glorious Revolution when William of Orange landed there in 1688.

Today, Brixham is a popular tourist destination with its quaint cottages, historic churches, and lively events like the Brixham Pirate Festival. Its maritime heritage is evident in the bustling fishing fleet and the iconic replica of Sir Francis Drake's ship, the Golden Hind, permanently moored in the harbor.

Being a working fishing port, you can guarantee that you will get some delicious local catch if seafood is your thing!
