Torbay in the South of Devon is known as the English Riviera. This article shows just a very small part of it. Come with me on a gentle stroll from Paignton Railway Station, down to the promenade, along to the harbour and then over the cliff walk around Roundham Head to the seaside resort of Goodrington. Press F11 for a bigger picture. Best foot forward..... then off we go.
