[edit] Local GeographyThe three main towns of Tor Bay have become connected over the years, swallowing up villages and towns such as St. Marychurch, Cockington, Marldon, Churston Ferrers and Galmpton. The borough of Torbay is bordered by the South Hams District to the south and west, and by the Teignbridge District to the north. Nearby towns include Totnes and Dartmouth in the South Hams, and Newton Abbot and Teignmouth in Teignbridge. [edit] IndustryTorbay's main industry is tourism. It has a large number of European students learning English. The fishing port of Brixham is home to one of England and Wales' most successful fishing fleets and regularly lands more value than any UK port outside Scotland. [edit] Research TipsExcept for events that have occurred since 1968, it is better to consult the individual towns and villages that make up Torbay, rather than depend on references for the unitary authority itself.
