Study English in Paignton, Devon 
Paignton is at the heart of Torbay, ideally situated between Torquay and Brixham. First class attractions, long sandy beaches and a safe, friendly atmosphere are the essential ingredients for a perfect language study environment and Paignton has them all. 
 
Life in the town revolves around the seafront, which resonates with the sounds of laughter and fun, but there are other sides to this distinctive seaside resort. Discover the elegance of Oldway Mansion, the green coastline around Elberry Cove, the large enviromental zoo, nearby castles or the largest outdoor waterpark in the UK. Whatever your interests, this famous town has a great deal to offer. 
 
Most of the town is level with the seafront and its sandy beaches, pier, harbour and theatres are all within easy reach. Paignton Green is the home of many events, festivals and exhibitions throughout the year and provides a scenic focal point for the resort. During the summer, carnivals, regattas and festivals follow each other without pause, and every August there is a Children's Week devoted to giving children the best time of their lives.  
 
During the evening, the seafront comes alive and is perfect for an evening stroll. There is a variety of excellent food and drink, and between the multiplex cinema and the historic Palace Theatre, there is an exciting mix of quality entertainment all year round.
