Brixham was known as 'Mother of Deep-Sea Fisheries', its boats helped to establish the fishing industries of Hull, Grimsby and Lowestoft. In the 1890s, there were about 300 trawling vessels in Brixham, most of them independently owned. The trawlers can still be seen coming in and out of the harbour, followed by flocks of seagulls and sometimes you get a glimpse of seals and dolphins too. Personifying a classic English fishing port, with its many colourful houses cascading down to the harbour, offers a view that’s full of charm and character. Brixham possesses a wealth of history and appeals to all ages. There are a variety of shops, local art galleries, culture and maritime heritage to explore. Regular coastal boat tours and fishing excursions are the perfect way to experience the English Riviera. Brixham Breakwater is a massive sea wall structure protecting Brixham Harbour, stretching for half a mile offshore offering panoramic views.
