SITUATION Nestling neatly between Torquay and Brixham in the sheltered and beautiful waters of Torbay, Paignton is at the very heart of the English Riviera. This area gained its reputation as a place to see and be seen during the days of Queen Victoria when it was compared to the French and Italian Rivieras because of its sunny climate, breath- taking coastal views and long, sandy beaches. However Paignton had already been around for a long time before the Victorians and it was even mentioned in the Domesday Book.
 
Today the town is still a lively tourist resort but has a life of its own which lasts all year round. Its busy town centre has all of the local amenities one would expect including shops, restaurants, bars, train station as well as its own Palace Theatre, and the sea front with its long wide promenade, sandy beaches and pier. There is a choice of well-regarded schools in the area including Torquay and Churston Grammar Schools.
 
Further afield the regional capital of Exeter is now within easy reach thanks to the new South Devon Highway, and provides all of the big brand shopping and dining experiences that one could wish for.
