If you have not brought your bicycle along with you, there are places where you can rent a bicycle and explore this beautiful county. The villages in Dorset are not too far from each other, so it is quite easy to explore a couple of villages on your cycling trip.

Abbotsbury

Tyneham Village

Tyneham Village is another great place to explore on your bicycle. You can also include cycling in your Torquay holidays. Tyneham Village has stopped in time. In 1943, during the war, the villagers left their homes as the land was taken over by the military. The inhabitants of the village never returned after the war. You will see several buildings including the schoolhouse where materials used during the war are still displayed. Visiting this village either on a bicycle or by walking is a great idea.

Living Coasts

One of the things you can do to enjoy your Torquay holidays is to visit the Living Coasts Zoo. The Living Coasts Zoo is a great place to go with the whole family.

These are beautiful ducks that feed on shellfish, small fish and other small creatures on the seabed. They dive down and get their food.
