The English Riviera

About
See the panoramic views from the top of The Riviera International Centre in Torquay, Devon.
From the left you see Torquay's bustling International marina and palm tree-lined promenade. Taking centre stage you see Torquay's HiFlyer, a huge helium balloon that takes visitors 400ft into the air for a stunning bird's eye view of the coastline. To the right, sweeping views of the Bay and over to Brixham, one of Britain's busiest fishing port, before resting on neighbouring Abbey Park's 9-hole Pitch and Putt located in front of the historic Torre Abbey.

Hi bunnyone
They are saying it lost around £30,000 worth of helium, then of course there's the cost of the balloon itself! Wonder if they are covered by insurance!
I had a lovely trip in it with my family in October - 400 feet up and brilliant views of Torbay and Dartmoor. I'm so lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the country.
Hi Jane
I am glad I havent got to pay for the Repairs. You live in a very beautiful part of Devon, we holiday in Dawlish Warren every year.
All my relations on my Mothers side of the family come from Newton Abbott so i think thats why i love Devon so much.
Nice and calm.
Sure looks nice there today.
Wish I were there.
Be Happy
Jeff
Lovely
It all looks so lovely at Torquay today, wish l could be there. But l am amazed how quiet it all looks, l thought with it being half term and a bank holiday weekend it would be really busy, perhaps people are still on their way, enjoy the bank holiday everyone.
