Torbay is an east-facing bay at the western most end of Lyme Bay in the south west of England, situated roughly midway between the cities of Exeter and Plymouth. Historically part of the county of Devon, Torbay was made a unitary authority on April 1, 1998. The tourist authorities call it the English Riviera, probably because of its mild climate.
