Torbay Road is a favourite amongst families, boasting colourful souvenir shops packed with treats - both cool and kitsch treats. Things to do - Away from the shores, there's no shortage of things to do and visitors are spoilt for choice! Take the steam train along the Paignton and Dartmouth Steam Railway to Kingswear, visit the endangered species at Paignton Zoo, or indulge in some history at the 500 year old Kirkham House or at Oldway Mansion, once home of Isaac Singer of Singer sewing machine fame.
