Brixham Harbour

Brixham Harbour, situated on the southern shore of Tor Bay, is known for its thriving fishing community and is home to one of the largest fishing fleets in the United Kingdom. The harbour plays a vital role in supporting the local fishing industry, with over 100 fishing vessels landing and selling their catches at the Fish Market located right on the quayside. Visitors can enjoy an up-close view of the bustling activities of the fishing fleet from a conveniently placed viewing platform, offering a unique opportunity to witness the comings and goings of both large beam trawlers and smaller day boats.

The town of Brixham, nestled between the hills and cascading houses on either side of the harbour, presents a picturesque and quintessentially English fishing port when approached from the sea. The vibrant and colourful houses add to the charm of the town, creating a delightful sight along the South Devon coast. Brixham embodies the perfect blend of tradition and modernity, showcasing a rich maritime heritage alongside a thriving contemporary fishing industry. It's a place where visitors can experience the timeless allure of a British fishing port while being a part of a dynamic and active community.
