Advantages: great zoo

Disadvantages: tired

We first visited paignton a couple of years ago to go to the brilliant zoo there, and took a stop off in the city afterwards. I've been back a couple of times since, to the town and the zoo, and I can't honestly say the place has changed much in the last few years.

it's a typical, quaint, tourist filled seaside town - great in the summer, pretty much dead out of season. there is a great stretch of coastline, which has unfortunately been spoilt by the semi-permanent fair that always seems to be opposite it. It's full of seagulls, naturally, and generally feels so rundown and tired that's it's almost a little depressing to visit.

there are quite a few nice places to eat and drink, and plenty of beaches to frolick on if that's what takes your fancy, but don't be expecting too much that's modern and up to date. The zoo, however, is definitely worth a look :)

Summary: not my favourite
