Discover Hidden Gems in Torquay

Where can you find a haunted car park? Or one of the most expensive private air-raid shelters in the country? Lost roads, long-forgotten quays, a drinking fountain with a dragon's head spout, reminders of two world wars and a suburban villa that was once a secluded farmhouse? Or how about a crumbling tower built for a lonely lady? Or a beer-brewing trough that was once a coffin?

They can all be found in Torquay Revealed, a fascinating look at the largest and most popular holiday resort in the South West of England. Tracking down unusual stories about well-known places, or discovering little-known corners of the resort, the author has unearthed a wealth of interesting information about Torquay.

Whether you're a resident or a visitor, this fully illustrated guide will reveal a side of the Queen of the English Riviera that you probably never knew existed!
