Torbay, Administrative borough in Devon, England
Torbay encompasses three main coastal towns: Torquay, Paignton, and Brixham, stretching along the eastern shores of Lyme Bay on the English Channel.
The establishment of Torre Abbey monastery in 1196 marked the first substantial development in the area, initiating centuries of settlement growth in Torbay.
The region maintains numerous religious buildings, with over 60 churches representing various Christian denominations and architectural styles from the nineteenth century.
Torbay Council provides residents with essential services including tax administration, waste management, housing assistance, and public transportation connections through three railway stations.
Archaeological discoveries in Kents Cavern revealed human remains dating back 40,000 years, representing some of the earliest evidence of modern humans in Europe.
