Thunderstorm backdrop in the evening: Brixham is a picturesque harbour town on the south coast of Devon and is known for its lively, historic harbour. In addition to the traditional fishing boats that land fresh catches every day, numerous sailing yachts characterise the harbour's appearance. They bob in the water against a backdrop of colourful houses, giving the place a special maritime atmosphere. The fishing port is one of the most important in England, and the daily fish market attracts visitors as well as sailors and boat owners.
A replica of Sir Francis Drake's Golden Hind commemorates Brixham's seafaring history, while cosy cafés and small shops around the harbour invite visitors to linger. | England
