Brixham is also rife with art and culture and has several unique attractions suitable for the whole family. Brixham is a great destination for art lovers, the town has a great range of art galleries that feature local artists as well as showcasing visiting installations.

Visitors can experience life on board and explore all five decks, it’s a great exhibition for kids learning about the Tudors or for adults who want to find out a bit more about the UK’s history. Being a fishing port, you can expect a great choice of seafood restaurants with many independent, local establishments offering menus made from fresh local produce.
