Torre Abbey

I've forgotten to post this video a while ago and some pictures of Christmas time. This place is lovely at Christmas, for next year I would recommend you visiting this place as it's free as well to watch the projection show 🎅🎄🎁 Torre abbey itself is a historic mansion, the size and beauty of it is absolutely breathtaking with all its little details and all the design and effort that has been put into the building when it was first built. If your looking for a day trip somewhere, book a tour ticket 🎟️ 👍

Would highly recommend a visit. Interesting historic building with some lovely art work. Car parking 5 minute walk away, with a few limited blue badge spaces. A short walk to Torre Abbey Sands ( Torquay Seafront).

A surprisingly big place with great interactive rooms telling the stories of the different people that lived in Torre Abbey, with a fun and chatty dinner table. Beautiful views as well and well kept garden and green houses.

Hidden gem in Torquay, I was looking up things to do near by our hotel (premier inn on the seafront) and this was basically right next door so decided to visit. Beautiful building with an interesting history and so many interesting art pieces and places to explore. Was pretty reasonably priced to get in, especially considering how much there was to explore. Giftshop was also lovely with some lovely handmade pieces and plants available to buy that they grew on site :)

Really lovely experience - the staff were friendly, the curation was interesting and innovative + had a genuine feeling of exploration (as it’s all a bit windy and topsy tervy). Liked the element of having actors on the top floor history section + the moving dinner table characters. Felt really thoughtful - A couple things were out of order but appreciated the space all the same - would definitely go back. Did try to strategically avoid the school group as a bit raucous but don’t begrudge kids learning aha

Museum/exhibits were very well done. Plants and art gallery were a nice added touch to give something for almost anyone to enjoy. I especially enjoyed the talking plates at the ‘dinner party’.

Good place to spend a couple of hours. Enjoyed the history, the Abbey story , art exhibition and Georgian dining room. Take note of the gates as you enter with the swans on top , you'll learn about these inside. Cafe , toilets and lift on the premises so accessible to all. Oh and beautiful gardens to sit and relax in.

Thoroughly enjoyed coming to this Abbey. If you like your paintings, this is definitely the place to come. Certainly is worth a visit.

Well preserved grounds of a monetary from the 12th century. One floor of the museum is committed to the Abbey. Other floors are art. But the real joy is the grounds. Ticket is good for two days, so you can come back at your leisure. We felt it was well worth the money.

Lovely house open to the public during the summer for visitors. Guided tours are available but most people find their wn way around. Mind out for the coach of school children on a school trip though, as it's very popular with local schools. Not exactly cheap entry but well worth it as the grounds and building are kept beautifully.

Worth a visit, especially if there is an art exhibition taking place.
