"Where the present meets the past".
A medieval abbey and historic family home in the heart of Torquay.
Since its foundation in 1196, Torre Abbey has witnessed, survived and even played a role in some epic moments of history. But through all that, the one thing that has never changed is the hospitality offered to its guests.
The six Canons of the Premonstratensian order who arrived on the south coast of England from Wellbeck Abbey in Nottinghamshire (having been gifted the Abbey land by Lord William Brewer) began the tradition eight hundred years ago and it has been maintained ever since.
Come visit the delightful gardens with palm and cacti houses. See the important art collection and the centre for contemporary arts. Explore the newly created Agatha Christie Potent Plant Garden.
