- Our walk starts in Brixham town centre. We stroll down to Brixham Harbour where we join the South West Coast Path all the way past Brixham Marina past the RNLI Torbay Lifeboat Station down to Brixham Breakwater and Breakwater Beach. We then retrace our steps finishing the walk in Brixham Harbour.
********************************************************************
Brixham is a fishing town and civil parish in the district of Torbay in the county of Devon, in the south-west of England. Brixham is at the southern end of Torbay, across the bay from Torquay, and fishing and tourism are the major industries of the town. At the time of the 2011 census it had a population of 16,693.
The town is hilly and built around the harbour which remains in use as a dock for fishing trawlers. It has a focal tourist attraction in the replica of Sir Francis Drake's ship Golden Hind that is permanently moored there.
Brixham is notable for being the town where the fishing trawler was improved in the 19th century; the distinctive red sails of the Brixham trawlers were coated with the local red ochre for protection.
In the Middle Ages, Brixham was the largest fishing port in the south west of England. Known as the 'Mother of Deep-Sea Fisheries', its boats helped to establish the fishing industries of Hull, Grimsby and Lowestoft. In the 1890s, there were about 300 trawling vessels in Brixham, most individually owned. The trawlers can still be seen coming in and out of the harbour, followed by flocks of seagulls. The fish market is open to the public on two special days in the summer, when the finer points of catching and cooking fish are explained. The modern boats are diesel-driven, but a few of the famous old sailing trawlers have been preserved. Owned by not for profit organisations and registered as historic vessels on the National Historic Ships register its possible to sail on these big wooden built, red sailed boats. They depend on income from guests to keep them sailing. Find the replica Pilgrim of Brixham (1895) and Vigilance of Brixham (1926) moored in the harbour or sailing in the bay.
Warships have been seen in Torbay from the days of the Vikings, up until 1944 when part of the D-Day fleet sailed from here. In 1588, Brixham watched Sir Francis Drake attacking the Spanish Armada after he had (so the legend goes) finished his game of bowls on Plymouth Hoe. Today in Brixham harbour, there is a full-sized replica of the ship, the Golden Hind, in which Drake circumnavigated the globe; visitors can go on board.
For centuries, ships going down the English Channel have come into Torbay to seek refuge from the storms and to replenish food supplies. Sometimes these were merchants, taking cargoes to faraway places and bringing back exotic goods and rare spices; sometimes they were carrying pilgrims, or gentlemen on the Grand Tour.
Since the days of Henry VIII, Brixham has played a part in the defence of the nation. The headland known as Berry Head is now a national nature reserve, but it is also a military site where guns were once positioned to defend the naval ships that were re-victualling at Brixham. Twelve guns were put there during the War of American Independence, but were removed when peace came in 1783. Just ten years later, during a war with France, guns were again deployed around the town. The major position was at Berry Head, but this time fortifications were built to defend the gun positions. These can still be seen, and are now some of the best preserved Napoleonic forts in the country.

Thank you for the walk, it was pure nostalgia for me. I was born in Paignton, just around the Bay, and grew up in the 40's and 50's, so it looks very different now, but there are still the landmarks and old buildings that look familiar. There is then the things of nature that remain timeless, I remember the Mayflower replica in the harbour, prior to her voyage to America. I miss the Herring gulls, they woke us in the morning, and called to us all day. They are always immaculate, and very cheeky. So many hate them and want them exterminated, if they don't like sea gulls, shouldn't live by the sea.
Thanks very much Glenda. Glad you enjoyed it :-)
Very nice place and beautiful scenery.

I decided to watch this on my big screen TV today. It was really interesting to learn about the place as you went by, the birthplace of the trawling industry, the embarkation point for the D-Day servicemen, even the cartoon map of the area. Good stuff.

Thanks so much for watching my friend 😊💕
Pretty sure the Tesco used to be a Woolworth. The Cow Shed was the Black Cat Cafe, the place next to Hans Gifts used to be an amusement arcade, my first experience of Space Invaders! Were you walked past the Coast Gaurd station, was a boys home, they played the bugle in the evening around dusk and the walkway past the modern flats didn't exist, it was Upphams Boast Yard.
Such happy childhood memories of family holidays. Truly my favourite place on earth.
