Torquay sits on Tor Bay in Devon, England, where sheltered waters meet the mild south Devon coastline. It forms part of the English Riviera, a resort stretch whose harbour, promenade and beaches developed strongly during the Victorian era. The town is closely associated with crime writer Agatha Christie, who was born here in 1890; her life and work are commemorated locally through the annual Agatha Christie Festival. Above the town, Kents Cavern preserves a network of prehistoric caves with evidence of early human occupation. The harbour remains a focal point for boats and waterfront life.
