AN OLDE worlde charm awaits you at Torquay's beautiful, historic
St Marychurch.
Located just beyond Babbacombe, away from the resort's bustling town centre, lies the unique 'village' of St Marychurch with its famous Victorian-style pedestrian precinct, its distinctive twin church spires and a fine selection of well established businesses and shops, together offering a wealth of services and knowledge with a friendly, personal touch.
Visitors will find plentiful parking at Chilcote Close and Hampton Avenue, allowing time to stroll along the main street, visit the Bygones Museum or enjoy the timeless charm of the precinct and its traditional stores. However, it is the warmth of the community which makes St Marychurch unique. Families and friends stop to chat in the precinct and maybe linger a while in one of the fine tea shops or inns to sample traditional Devon fayre.
The area boasts a number of banks, building societies, a post office, two chemists, two well-stocked supermarkets and a wealth of shops supplying all the essential everyday items, as well as gifts and luxuries.
St Marychurch is fortunate to also possess traditional toy shops, butchers, fishmongers, greengrocers, bakers and hardware store. And, if you should need a little pampering, there are plenty of hair salons to choose from as well as traditional barbers. There's even a beauty salon, a health shop and a selection of beauty and therapeutic services available.
And if the shopping gets too much, you'll find a chiropodist to soothe your sore feet!
Completing the extensive list of outlets are solicitors, estate agents, clothes shops, charity shops, shoe shops, shoe repairs and key cutters, a picture gallery, photography services, a dry cleaners, a bistro, tea shops, fish and chip shop, general stores, china shop, clock shop, jewellers, dolls house shop, crafts shop, fabric supplier, pet shop, newsagents, off-licence, card shop and travel agents.
With a doctor's surgery, schools and plenty of meeting places to choose from, all within walking distance of beaches and beautiful countryside, it's no wonder that St Marychurch is an extremely popular place to live in and to visit.
