| Video Discription | Brixham | Full tour of BRIXHAM DEVON from Brixham Harbour and Pirate Ship to the seafront and town 4k Brixham is a fishing town and civil parish in the district of Torbay in Devon, in the south-west of England. Brixham is at the southern end of Torbay, across the bay (Tor Bay) from Torquay, and fishing and tourism are the major industries of the town. This Brixham guide video will hopefully show you all you need to know about this beautiful part of Devon. It is thought that the name 'Brixham' came from Brioc's village. 'Brioc' was an old English or Brythonic personal name and '-ham' is an ancient term for home derived from Old English. Brixham is hilly and built around the harbour which remains in use as a dock for fishing trawlers. It has a focal tourist attraction in the replica of Sir Francis Drake's ship Golden Hind that is permanently moored there. I thought it was the famous Brixham Pirate Ship that is one of the main features of the Brixham Pirate Festival that takes place here every May. Historically, Brixham was two separate communities with only a marshy lane to connect them. Cowtown was the area on top of the hill where the farmers lived, while a mile away around the harbour was Fishtown where the fishermen and seamen lived. Cowtown, the St Mary's Square area, is on the road leaving Brixham to the south west, in the direction of Kingswear, upon which stands a church built on the site of a Saxon original. The town holds a yearly pirate event which competes for the title of most pirates in one place and this draws visitors from far and wide. King William III landed in England at Brixham on 5 November 1688 on his way to become king as part of the Glorious Revolution. Picture-postcard coves, exotic palm trees, a serene coastline and an iconic replica ship are just some of the things that give Brixham so much character. Situated in the southern corner of Torbay opposite Torquay, this attractive South Devon fishing town offers visitors a wealth of things to do, from riveting historical attractions to laid-back golf courses, a range of arts and culture and excellent local food. The town is a key part of the English Riviera and home to a UNESCO Global Geopark (one of only seven in the UK). Brixham Pirate Festival The annual Brixham Pirate Festival usually takes place over the early May Bank Holiday, and is known for its world record attempts, live music, free entertainment and for filling Brixham with pirates. The festival is a very large event in the town, with hundreds of residents viewing the festival yearly. Cobbled streets and pastel-coloured fishermen's houses cascade down to the bustling harbour where you will find traditional shops showcasing locally made souvenirs, crafts and foods. One of the busiest fishing ports in the UK, life in Brixham is centred around this picturesque harbour.
