Goodrington Cliff Gardens

This area continues from Roundham Head and Goodrington Park and consists of flower beds and a grass area and is accessed by means a zigzag footpath from the Goodrington Promenade. The gardens are lit up at night time with attractive and coloured lights. Known locally as Paradise walk, or Cliff walk, it's a very popular evenings stroll for the visitors and local residents. Its locally famous lights have made it a regular attraction for almost all the pleasure boats working in Torbay and they regularly run evening trips from Paignton Harbour to witness the illuminated cliff walk from the seaward side.

The garden forms a veritable "sun-trap" and the red Devon cliffs give a feeling of warmth and welcome even on sunless days. The view from this popular rendezvous commands the grater part of picturesque Torbay, Brixham Harbour, the neighbouring coast and glorious Devonshire landscapes. The planting of the garden comprises trees and plants of subtropical nature, the climate enabling them to flourish in profusion.
