Retirement Properties Spotlight in Brixham

Brixham : The old fishing port of Brixham together with its northern neighbours Paignton and Torquay form an important stretch of coastline for the summer tourist industry. Brixham has narrow streets and attractive old buildings leading down to the harbour. The town has been a major fishing port for many years and in the harbour is a full size replica of the Golden Hinde in which Sir Francis Drake sailed round the world at the end of the 16th century. There is a regular ferry service across the bay to Torquay.
