A little history
Brixham is Devon's most important fishing port — the trawler design invented here in the 19th century revolutionised fishing worldwide. William of Orange landed at Brixham in 1688, beginning the Glorious Revolution that changed British history. Francis Drake's Golden Hind replica sits in the harbour.
The fish market is genuinely extraordinary — some of the freshest fish in England is sold here from 6am. The harbour for fish and chips. Berry Head for the coastal walks and lighthouse. The Golden Hind replica for the children.
