Very interesting place in beautiful settings a reasonable museum not overly stocked but some very interesting history around the dissolution of the abbey by Henry the 8th. Friendly staff and beautiful gardens the green house was very nice filled with all types of plants and trees would recommend a visit
First time visiting torre abbey. Really enjoyed the art work & the history of the abbey & the gardens were a delight to walk around .
Absolute hidden gem! Was super surprised by the amount of stuff there, very well cared for and displayed. Staff were the best bit; very knowledgeable and gave us umbrellas to look around outside as it was tipping it down! There was only 1 other person looking round, so was very quiet and could proper take our time with all the rooms and stunning objects. The considerable world war section kept my boyfriend and father very busy, and the medieval section had some really cool things - I would recommend for families with kids, lots of interactive videos and displays. Real nice daytrip if you're looking for a spot of history 😊 And gardens would look gorgeous in the sunshine!
I've forgotten to post this video a while ago and some pictures of Christmas time. This place is lovely at Christmas, for next year I would recommend you visiting this place as it's free as well to watch the projection show 🎅🎄🎁 Torre abbey itself is a historic mansion, the size and beauty of it is absolutely breathtaking with all its little details and all the design and effort that has been put into the building when it was first built. If your looking for a day trip somewhere, book a tour ticket 🎟️ 👍
Would highly recommend a visit. Interesting historic building with some lovely art work. Car parking 5 minute walk away, with a few limited blue badge spaces. A short walk to Torre Abbey Sands ( Torquay Seafront).
