Brixham is lovely and quaint little fishing village in the county of Devon in the South West of England. The town of Brixham spans several hills around the main harbour—which remains as an important economic center of Brixham. Fishing and Tourism are certainly the town’s two main economic sources. This is great news for visitors, as it means that there is no shortage of things to do if you’re visiting for a short while. In the summer, there are festivals around town such as the Cowtown Conjunto Festival. It involves a party to remind citizens of a time when Brixham spanned two separate communities connected together through a marshy lane. The town also holds a yearly pirate event. This quirky event involves a competition to see which place has the most pirates in one place at a given time. Boating and sailing feature prominently here. They even have a tourist attraction in the replica of Sir Francis Drake’s ship the Golden Hind. This ship has been permanently moored here.
