Torre Abbey

The Kings Drive, TORQUAY, TQ2 5JE

Write a review

Torre Abbey is the oldest building in Torquay, founded in 1196 as a monastery and later adapted as a country house. It has a story spanning 800 years and was once the most important Abbey of its kind in England. The brothers who lived here then were known as the White Canons. A massive restoration project means that the Abbey is currently closed, but the gardens are still open to visitors.
