English Riviera Visitor Information Centre - Torquay

If you are a big fan of Agatha Christie and you are visiting Torquay and have a chance to do the walking tour.... do it! You will not be disappointed! Graham was a great tour guide and gave little unknown tidbits of information regarding Agatha Christie, her life, her stories and characters. There is a lot of walking.... about 2.5 hours worth so be sure to wear comfortable, sensible shoes, but it is well worth it. Don't forget to visit Cockington Village. It's a quaint village town that takes you back in time with the thatched roofs and splendid afternoon tea. We had such a great time today! Thank you again Graham!

Visited yesterday with my family and left absolutely disgusted. I have no problem paying to use a toilet however I do not appreciate having a sharps disposal so close to the toilet. Disgusting
