Going on holiday in Torbay

Torbay and the Devonshire coast are delightful all year round. However, the period from late-spring to late-summer remain among the best in terms of weather. You'll find the highest temperatures from July through August, with fewer chances of rain. However, these are also peak travel times with price hikes and booked-up hotels. If you can, visit outside of school holidays to avoid crowded beaches and busy motorways. Major attractions are open from spring through autumn, with many services, like National Trust properties, closed for winter. Winter can still be charming, just pack for crisp and wet weather.
