THE
ENGLISH RIVIERA
One
of the mildest parts of the United Kingdom. It has proved an ideal
venue for conferences, exhibitions, short breaks and, of course,
holidays. The English Riviera, with Torquay as its lead town,
has activities ranging from different water sports (sailing, water
skiing and swimming) to golf, go-karting and horse riding.
THE
BUCKINGHAM LODGE
We
are located within easy walking distance of the Torquay seafront.
The
Riviera Conference & Leisure Centre, Torre Abbey (with Agatha
Christie Room) & Gardens. Within the Abbey gardens are a pitch
& putt course, bowling greens and tennis courts. Nearby is Torquay
Rugby Club.
The
Town Centre, Harbour and Theatres are close by.
The
Buckingham Lodge is ideally placed to enjoy the whole Torbay area.
Its location is convenient for visitors to travel to other parts
of South Devon. The beauty of Dartmoor is only a short drive away.
Visitors can enjoy some great days out from their base at Buckingham
