Brixham

Brixham lies along the southern shore of Tor Bay, where a working harbour sits beneath the limestone headland of Berry Head. Fishing has shaped the town for centuries, and its quays remain central to one of England’s leading fishing ports. A replica of Sir Francis Drake’s Golden Hind is moored in the harbour, recalling the Elizabethan voyage that circumnavigated the globe. Nearby Berry Head National Nature Reserve brings together coastal paths, cliffs and Napoleonic fortifications. In 1688, William of Orange landed at Brixham before advancing towards London in the Glorious Revolution. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Brixham and Devon.
