Paignton, Coastal town in Torbay, England.
Paignton extends along the shores of Tor Bay with a Victorian pier, multiple sandy beaches, and a protected harbor for fishing vessels.
The settlement evolved from a Celtic village to a Victorian resort after the construction of a new harbor in 1847 and railway connection in 1859.
The Paignton Festival brings together locals and visitors with carnival processions, entertainment events, and traditional seaside activities throughout summer months.
The town center connects to the beach area through pedestrian streets filled with shops, while railway services link to Exeter and other major cities.
The Paignton and Dartmouth Steam Railway operates heritage trains from the main station through coastal tracks to Kingswear, offering sea views.
