PHOTOS OF TORQUAY...

[Silky]

Well KeoghConians, as promised, here are your photos of the hotel and Torquay area. I’ve done my best to give you an assortment so you’ll be able to see exactly what you are getting when you come to Torquay. I don’t think I could find any better enticement than this. Do you?


I would say this one is rather obvious.



Torquay Seafront promenade ... if you look along to the blue awning, that’s Café Mojo and your Fish & Chippies.



Another one that’s quite obvious.



Not bad, eh?



Notice how nicely I’ve marked the bar area for you?



Picked up this postcard at the hotel. You can see the great seafront view ... the back of the hotel, the all important bar area and the view from the restaurant/lounge area.



This is Appleby’s, 45 paces away from our hotel. And as you can see, they have a rather large outdoor area which we may well be able to make use of. The weather is still normally decent this time of year you can sit out without shivering.



The front view, naturally.



This was taken right outside the entrance to Appleby’s. Our hotel entrance is right between the two cars. And hey, this wasn’t planned. I was waiting for the cars to get out of the way ... but they just kept coming ... so I said the heck with it and clicked anyway.



Looking across Appleby’s car park you’ll see the footbridge. To the left of the footbridge is Café Mojo.



This was taken outside of McDonalds, where you’ll enter Union Street from the multi-storey car park. It’s the upper end of Union Street.



This is the bottom half of Union Street.



This was taken at the cross section at Market Street halfway down Union Street. From this intersection down Union Street is a pedestranized area that was just completed in Fall 2003.



The bottom of Union Street looking up to top of town center.



An overview. This picture was taken all the way down at the Hog’s Head Pub looking all the way up to the top of town center.



This continues on the photo above, obviously in the other direction. The end of Union Street and the beginning of Fleet Walk. This goes all the way down to the seafront.



Fleetwalk taken from the seafront end, where you’ll end up walking down from the photo above.



And last, but certainly not least, as far as you can go. This photo was taken from a new Torquay bus line that’s starting up outside our house which takes to this area shown. The golden building bottom left, is the Pavilion, where inside you’ll find shops and an upstairs cafe. Top left you’ll see a dome like netting. This is Living Coasts, the newest attraction to Torquay. And right to the front of that is the Brewer’s Fayre restaurant.

I'm keeping this thread featured but removing all messages after ... so please do not put any posts in this thread.

I figured best to keep the photos in for any newbies who might be interested or for any of the oldies who want to remember...
