Babbacombe Devon Map

About Babbacombe

Babbacombe overlooks the shimmering expanse of Lyme Bay, its houses clinging to the slopes like hardy barnacles. It lies 1.5 km north-east of Torquay (from Torquay: bearing 48°T, OS grid SX 925 653). The air here often carries the tang of salt, a constant reminder of the dramatic coastline that frames Babbacombe’s existence, where sheer cliffs plunge towards hidden coves. Down at the Babbacombe Beach, the pebbles are worn smooth by the tireless kiss of the sea, and in summer, the chalky white of the cliffs catches the sun with a surprising, almost luminous intensity. The pathways winding through the Babbacombe Downs offer panoramic views, where the distant horizon seems to melt into the sky, and the wind whispers tales of smugglers and ancient mariners.
