With the holiday season now in full swing, Torquay should be top of your agenda for a break away this summer. A traditional seaside holiday is really popular with the old and young alike, with so many attractions and events to hold your interest.
The weather should be at its very best with the sun high in the sky during the day so you can enjoy warm, lazy days on the beach and some balmy evenings whilst sitting with a glass of wine and watching the world go by on Torquay's promenade.
Something to look out for is the evening illuminations at nearby Babbacombe Model Village and new for 2013 is a four metre replica of the recently constructed London building 'The Shard', aptly named after its iconic shape and which is lit up at the model village from dusk. Families of all ages will really enjoy this trip around a land in miniature, full of humorous displays from popular events of the past and present. It is easily accessible either by car or a regular bus service from Torquay.
Another new event for this July, which is sure to become a regular entry on the calendar, is the Family Fun Dog Show at Occombe Farm, Preston on 7th July. Just because you are on holiday doesn't mean you can't enter your dog, so go on, give the local canines a run for their money, with many prizes available including a fancy dress category for dogs and their owners!
So this year, why not take your trusted friend with you on your break away to Torquay and book your summer holiday in a self catering apartment that accepts well behaved dogs. Leaving your family pet behind is often one of the reasons people give for not going away, but luckily Barramore holiday apartments in Torquay have ground floor apartments that are ideal for dogs and even offer specific advice on nearby dog friendly eating places and attractions. So with a selection of quality self-catering accommodation in Chelston that accepts pets there is no reason why you can't all enjoy a holiday together.
And it's not just the adults that get to enjoy all the fun. Summer camp-style activities for youngsters can be booked on a daily or weekly basis during the school holiday period at nearby Newton Abbot. Activities include art, sports, outdoor pursuits and music, which are both educational, adventurous and fun. These courses also give Mum and Dad a few hours to enjoy quality time together.
If spectator sport is more in line with your personal plans for your holiday on the English Riviera, then take yourself off to Torre Abbey Meadow on 21st July 2013 when the Pedal Car Grand Prix takes place, a gruelling two hour endurance race with the team members relying purely on pedal power. Arts and craft stalls, live music, belly dancing and a licensed bar complete this thrilling afternoon out and also raises a considerable amount for charity. This event is also within easy walking distance of the Barramore holiday apartments.
