Set in picturesque gardens with sea views, Coombe Rise enjoys the best of all holiday worlds. Situated on the edge of Paignton town centre, the sandy beach at Preston is even closer; a footpath to the rear of the detached property leads visitors directly into woodland and country walks, and to the front of the house there is a small park where children can play ball games. Paignton is in the heart of Torbay, `The English Riviera', with its numerous beaches, coastal paths, castles and areas of natural beauty, such as Dartmoor National Park, as well as a wealth of tourist attractions to suit all tastes including Paignton Zoo, Living Coasts, Cockington Village and Country Park, Kents Caverns (caves), Paignton Pier and Woodlands Adventure Park in Dartmouth. Other places of interest to visit include the pretty fishing village of Brixham, where nestled among the trawlers on the quayside is moored a full-size reconstruction of the Golden Hind - a surprisingly small vessel in which Francis Drake circumnavigated the world. Also on offer is the Torquay and Dartmouth Steam Railway. Medieval Totnes is well worth a visit, as is Quay West Water Park. There are many historic National Trust houses and gardens in the area to visit, including Greenway, Compton Castle and Coleton Fishacre, to name but a few. Pubs ¼ mile.
