The Knowhere Guide

Best and Worst in Brixham, Devon*

Brixham, Devon Triumphs and Tragedies

Favourite Building

• The Blue Anchor - Harbourside -
• Berry Head Hotel
• Berry Head hotel is cool, so is the Fort at Berry Head. All of the houses round the harbour are impressive too.

Demolish It Now Building

• The hideous MIDAS development which has totally RUINED BRIXHAM. Why did the Brixham people Let it get Built??? They tried it in SHALDON !!!
• The entire Town Square and related traffic problems
• The Police Station. (Really! it's horrible 60s)

The Best Things

• The great mugs of coffee plus brandy that you could get on the boat trip from Brixham to Dartmouth MMMMMMMM :) worth staying on the boat all day until yuo finally keel over LOL
• A Quaff and Yarn down at The Blue Anchor, on the Harbour.
• The Vibe
• Generally friendly, great beachs, great countryside. Quiet, but you can go out in Torquay to go off. Couple of secret surfing spots. Secret Raves at Seven Quarries. (ask someone) New Years Eve. Sod Trafalger Square, this place goes off. Wear fancy dress.

The Worst Things

• Also Brixham and torbay are very 'clicky' (prone to fights).
• Ugly women and drunken fisherman. Noisy seagulls
• The New Surgery with no parking - Very patient focussed practice manager to make this decision on behalf of the patients - I think not....!
• Pissed fishermen. Smell of fish. Gets boring, no clubs, pubs all shut at 11. Usual small town problems. Ignorant tourists.

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
