The evenings have finally drawn out and the weather is warming up. What better pick-me-up than to plan a short break away – and the English Riviera must be one of the loveliest places to visit! We’ve found some great reasons why you should visit before the busy summer season.
Because the region is protected by Dartmoor to the north-west, the English Riviera enjoys a microclimate that means even the early days of summer are milder than in the rest of the country. This gives you a perfect opportunity to explore the great outdoors and our local attractions and events.
Warm Climate
Noted for its mild climate, Torquay and the neighbouring towns of Paignton and Brixham, enjoy higher than average UK temperatures. It’s even warm enough for palm trees to flourish all year round. The Torbay Palm has become the symbol of the English Riviera and has thrived in the area since it was brought over from New Zealand in 1820.
Because of this warmer climate, temperatures can range up to 15 degrees in May and June, making the area a perfect early summer destination.
