- Brixham, a charming seaside holiday destination and fishing town near Paignton and Torquay in Devon, England, is a must-visit for anyone seeking a delightful seaside escape. With a Pirate Festival and a great beach there's lots to see and do in Brixham.
Brixham's historic harbour is the town's vibrant heart. Bustling with activity, the harbour offers stunning views, a fascinating fish market, and boat trips for exploring the coastline. You can also enjoy fresh seafood caught daily by local fishermen at the harbour's many restaurants. Witness the age-old tradition of the Brixham Fish Market, where the day's catch is auctioned off in the early mornings. After the auction, indulge in a delicious breakfast of locally sourced fish and chips - a quintessential British seaside experience.
Brixham boasts a rich history dating back centuries. Explore Brixham Heritage Museum to delve into the town's fishing heritage, shipbuilding industry, and social history. Learn about the town's role in major historical events and get a glimpse into the lives of Brixham's residents throughout the ages.
Step aboard the Golden Hind replica ship, Sir Francis Drake's famous galleon, for a captivating journey through maritime exploration. Explore the ship's decks, cabins, and cannons, and imagine the daring voyages undertaken by Drake and his crew.
Brixham is a gateway to stunning natural beauty. Berry Head National Nature Reserve offers scenic coastal walks with breathtaking views of the English Riviera coastline. Hike the trails, spot diverse wildlife like guillemots and peregrine falcons, and explore historical sites like Berry Head Fort, a reminder of the area's coastal defenses. Relax on the lovely beaches like Shoalstone Pool, a sheltered cove perfect for families, or Fishcombe Cove, a picturesque spot for swimming and soaking up the sun. Take a boat trip to admire the dramatic cliffs, hidden coves, and marine life around Brixham.
Brixham is a haven for seafood lovers. Savor the freshest catches of the day at the harbour-side restaurants, where you can dine on everything from simply prepared fish and shellfish to creative seafood dishes. Explore the town's many cafes and traditional pubs, offering a taste of local flavors and a chance to experience the friendly Brixham atmosphere. Indulge in delicious fish and chips, a quintessential British seaside treat, while enjoying the stunning harbour views. Foodies can also explore Brixham's independent shops selling local produce, fresh fish, and handmade treats.
Brixham is a fantastic destination for families. Kids will love exploring the rock pools and beach at Fishcombe Cove, teeming with colorful sea creatures. Take them crabbing on the beaches, a fun and educational activity that allows them to learn about the local marine life. Visit Wizz Kidz, a fun indoor play area with slides, climbing frames, and soft play equipment, perfect for rainy days or when the kids need to burn off some energy. Brixham offers boat trips specifically designed for families, allowing you to explore the coastline, spot dolphins and other marine life, and create lasting memories together.
Beyond these top attractions, Brixham offers a variety of experiences to suit all interests:
Explore the Strand Art Gallery, showcasing the work of local and regional artists, or attend one of the town's many art festivals and exhibitions.
Brixham is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. Go kayaking or paddleboarding along the coastline, explore the underwater world with a scuba diving or snorkeling trip, or take a leisurely bike ride along the scenic trails.

Brixham looks absolutely gorgeous. Take me there now 😅. The harbour and colourful houses 🏘️ up the hill reminds me of Hastings. Lovely beach 🏖️ and working fishing 🎣 fleet. Thanks a million Neil 👍
Just a few words of appreciation for your latest videos. You must work pretty darned hard to produce them. I imagine it's not only the filming, but you must also spend a lot of time planning, reading and taking notes. It is much appreciated, you invoke memories and stir up dreams. Thanks mate 👏👏👏
Well this just came at the perfect moment as I’ve currently got a busted up knee, am exhausted, and just had to do a 6k walk 🤣🤣🤣
Much appreciated - you put a smile back on my face
Love Brixham. Great place to visit. Great restaurants and pubs especially the Crown and Anchor where William of Orange had a few drinks.
Top Man, one of my many places i visited with my mum and dad, 40 years ago + Cheers !
You’re welcome
Lovely place
While on holiday nearby, I went to the Pirate Festival in May. It was fabulous. So many people dressed up and made the atmosphere a lovely place to be. Perfect for everyone.
I really want to go to that!
@@GimbalWalkTV it's first bank holiday weekend of May every year, why don't you come next year, would make great content for the channel!
@@siobhan2623 DEAL! I've booked it in!
@@GimbalWalkTV awesome! You'll have a fab time, Jack Sparrow is often seen stumbling amongst the crowds and Davy Jones too have been spotted! Plenty of pirates and wenches, even get to go on the visiting pirate ship that comes to Brixham once a year. The community really comes together for it and people travel from all around!
Wow thank u, u filmed my old home 😊 quite a bit changed, but still the same too, beautiful place, always a huge part of my heart ❤
Brixham is one of my favourite places and was there just a few weeks ago!
Great place
This is a wonderful place to visit.I I absolutely loved visiting it.
It really is!
Love brixham harbour,been many times❤
Great place
I love Brixham. If I could buy a live aboard boat, I'd happily retire and end my days there.
You have great taste!
Well this is a little bit better than Torquay. Love those little gardens. That little bit of Breakwater beach looked great when you got there. That would be my spot all day long!
Thanks.
I agree!
Thank you for Brixham one of my fave places used to come a lot when i was young not been for about 4 years now want to go back perhaps next year love the video Neil x
Thank you
Brixham is so pretty
The prettiest and the best place in the country
Beautiful seaside town
I used to deep sea fish from here 30+ years ago, every 3 weeks or so, and like most places in Britain, Brixham seems to have deteriorated to commercialism; the marina wasn't there then, just the breakwall (without that glass & concrete monstrocity of a building next to the fish market), working fishing boats coming and going and a view right out to sea, whilst you ate your chips etc. Now your view is massively restricted by a marina with hundreds of 'rich boys' sailing boats, bobbing and doing nothing; blocking the view out to sea, how boring is that!
Another lovely film. Thanks hope your leg is better
Thank you!
Leg is killing me but not going to let it beat me
Never been there but it looks beautiful almost Mediterranean
Yeh it’s lovely!

I love a Brixham such a beautiful place. In general Devon is breathtaking . Then the government have go and ruin it by dumping raw sewage in the water. What were they thinking?
DON'T DRINK THE WATER💦 - Or it's 🤮 🚽🧻🪠
It’s ok now 👍
@@GimbalWalkTVNo it isn't..
@@Bruce-vq7ni crikey is it still going on?
The water problem is all sorted now. They had to drain two reservoirs and freeze lots of underground pipes to get rid of the 'bugs'.
