Brixham, Devon UK

On 'The English Riviera', just south of Paignton and Torquay, Brixham is a popular tourist spot and attractive working fishing port. There's lots of history: a statue commemmorating the arrival of William of Orange (later to be crowned King William III) is by the harbour. Past the yacht marina is a beach and a sea water swimming pool. Further on, the road leads to Berry Head, a former Napoleonic fort; from here there are marvellous views.
