Torbay (Devon)

Definition (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torbay)

Torbay is a borough in Devon, England, administered by the unitary authority of Torbay Council. It consists of 24.28 square miles (62.9 km2) of land spanning the towns of Torquay, Paignton and Brixham, which together occupy an east-facing natural harbour by the English Channel. Torbay is roughly equidistant from the cities of Exeter and Plymouth. A popular tourist destination with a tight conurbation of resort towns, Torbay's sandy beaches, mild climate and recreational and leisure attractions have given rise to the nickname of the English Riviera.
