My Day Trip to Cockington - Torquay. A stunning village on the edge of this seaside town #torquay

Join me, Day Tripper Daz, as I explore one of Devon’s most picturesque hidden gems — the beautiful village of Cockington, nestled just a stone’s throw from Torquay on the stunning English Riviera.

In this relaxing day trip vlog, I wander through centuries of history, charming thatched cottages, and peaceful countryside walks that make Cockington feel like stepping back in time.

🏡 **A Step Back in History**
Cockington is a historic manor village dating back over 1,000 years, recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086. Once owned by the Mallock family for over 300 years, the village has been beautifully preserved, offering a rare glimpse into traditional English rural life.

🍺 **The Famous Drum Inn**
I stop off at the iconic Drum Inn, a unique pub designed by renowned architect Sir Edwin Lutyens. With its quirky design and cosy atmosphere, it’s one of the most distinctive pubs in the UK!

🎨 **Cockington Court & Craft Centre**
Next, I explore Cockington Court, a historic manor house now home to a vibrant craft centre. Watch skilled artisans at work — from glassblowing to blacksmithing — and discover handmade local treasures.

🏏 **The Idyllic Cricket Ground**
No English village would be complete without a cricket pitch, and Cockington’s is truly special. Surrounded by rolling green hills and historic cottages, it’s one of the most scenic cricket grounds you’ll ever see.

🌸 **Stunning Gardens & Country Walks**
I take a peaceful stroll through the award-winning gardens and along the tranquil country paths that wind through the Cockington Valley. Expect beautiful lakes, woodland trails, and plenty of wildlife — perfect for a relaxing escape.

🚗 **How to Get to Cockington**
Getting to Cockington is easy:

* By car: Just a few minutes from Torquay town centre
* By foot: A lovely scenic walk from Torquay seafront
* By bus: Regular services run from Torquay
* By bike: Ideal for a countryside cycle
* Parking is available nearby, but walking in is part of the charm!

If you love hidden gems, peaceful walks, history, and classic English countryside vibes — Cockington is a must-visit.
