Situated in the midst of Brunel’s
historic woodland sanctuary, Brunel Manor
commands a prime position overlooking the
palm-lined seafront and beaches of the English
Riveria, with the awe-inspiring rugged beauty
of Dartmoor and spectacular coastline only
a short distance away.
 The
English Riviera boasts a palm tree lined
seafront, Italian style white villas perched
high on the surrounding hillsides and fabulous
yachts moored in the modern marina. The
abundance of pavement cafes and restaurants,
good quality shops and a host of family
attractions, all help to create a truly
relaxing, continental and stylish atmosphere
that visitors just love to soak up.
Enjoy the superb beaches and spectacular
views from cliff top coastal paths or simply
stroll along the elegant seafront promenades.
Torquay also features a number of heritage
sites including Torre Abbey and Kents Cavern
while literary associations include the
world's greatest mystery writer, Dame Agatha
Christie. Follow the Agatha Christie trails
and discover the Torquay that inspired her
ever-popular detective stories.
 Closer
to the Manor, Babbacombe is renowned for
its’ award winning Model Village,
and Bygones – bringing back memories
of ‘how it was when we were young’.
Enjoy a stroll along the gardens of Babbacombe
downs, and take the effort out of reaching
the sea by using the recently restored funicular
cliff railway, now well over 80 years old.
Further afield, Dartmoor provides spectacular
scenery and walks ranging from a very gentle
stroll through to hikes only for the more
adventurous and experienced, along everything
from open windswept moorland to sheltered
woodland and river walks. Come and enjoy
the amazing beauty of God’s creation
at any time of the year.
