Highlights
Arguably, the greatest British sitcom of all time was inspired by a stay at a Torquay hotel! Fawlty Towers was and remains as one of Britain's greatest situation comedies. In 1975 the public were introduced to Basil, Sybil, Manuel & Polly at Torquay's most chaotic hotel It is appropriate that our Fawlty Towers walking tour is set in Torquay, Devon - apparently, it's the only one in the world! This tour is a light-hearted trip down memory lane to reminisce and enjoy the story of Fawlty Towers. There are plenty of laugh-out-loud moments along the way and great photo opportunities.....but no Riff-Raff are permitted!

About Devon
Devon is a county in south-west England with two coasts, the high moors of Dartmoor and Exmoor, thatched villages and cream teas.
Devon reaches from the English Channel in the south to the Bristol Channel in the north. The cathedral city of Exeter stands at its heart, and from there the land rises to Dartmoor, a national park of granite tors, wild ponies and ancient stone rows, and to the high cliffs and heather of Exmoor in the north.
Top-ranked sights in Devon: Exeter Cathedral, Royal Albert Memorial Museum & Art Gallery (RAMM).
