As the Best of British destinations, with a sheltered bay, stunning coastline and perfect mix of seaside towns and South Devon villages, the English Riviera provides the ideal location for filming. The whole area is a special area of geological significance and recognised by UNESCO as a Global Geopark, and also the birthplace of Agatha Christie, who found inspiration here for many of her novels. Come to Torquay, Paignton, Brixham and Babbacombe for:

- Agatha Christie Country. Feel inspired by the South Devon coast that Christie wrote about so fondly.
- Rugged coastal landscapes and maritime history. Berry Head – a key site of the English Riviera Global Geopark - has the remains of a Napoleonic fort, and there’s a replica of Francis Drake’s Golden Hind in Brixham Harbour.
- Award-winning Blue Flag beaches
- Bustling fishing ports and harbours. Brixham recently starred in Fish Town, a series for Sky Atlantic that focussed on the town’s day to day life. There are regular sailing activities in the bay, ranging from racing yachts and dinghies to luxury cruisers.
