View of Torquay from the beach close to the Torre Abbey. This shows how hilly the area surrounding Torquay is. The choice of this area to be the centre of the town was the presence of a suitable inlet which allowed fishing vessels to berth next to the shore. This harbour is located just behind the Torquay Wheel, refer to picture Image, in the centre of the photograph. For a view from the opposite direction refer to picture Image
