No visit to the South West is complete without a visit to Cockington, near Torquay. Known the world over, the famous thatched Domesday Book village nestles deep within a hidden valley, right in the heart of Torbay, home of the English Riviera. Stepping back in time, the village is well served with Tea Rooms, Gift Shops, a fine Lutyens designed public house and the 14th Century Forge. Take a leisurely stroll or a horse-drawn carriage ride and explore the grounds of Cockington Park, where Agatha Christie used to play as a child. Discover the unusual cricket pitch, the early Norman church and the manor house of Cockington Court, making sure you take a moment to pause and embrace the peace and history.....
