This trail begins by the bay, exploring the lively seafront and harbourside pubs of central Torquay—from beachside taprooms to hidden historic gems. It’s a compact and walkable start with plenty of variety.
Then, for part two, hop on the Stagecoach 22 bus to St Marychurch and Babbacombe, where leafy streets and clifftop views frame a second round of standout pubs. Expect traditional locals, rotating ales, and a more relaxed village vibe. Do both halves in one go—or treat them as two distinct pub adventures.

It’s two pub trails in one—buzzing seafront bars followed by hilltop hideaways. Sea views, local beer, and proper Devon character all the way through.
