Guardhouse Café
Berry Head Nature Reserve
Berry Head was once a Napoleonic Fort built to guard Torbay from French invaders. The current café was formerly a guardhouse, which was constructed in the 19thcentury, so that soldiers could protect the fort from potential enemy attack on the headland. For over 100 years, the Guardhouse Café was used as a tearoom, and is now a popular café that boasts historic appeal, with features such as the old tunnel system still visible.
Still serving the ever-popular cream teas, this picturesque café offers homemade breakfasts, light lunches, and cakes… and not to forget tasty scoops of ice cream! We highly recommend sitting outside, where fresh sea breeze, open coastline and the sounds of the sea create the ideal setting to escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Once tum’s are full from devouring fluffy scones topped with lashings of cream and jam, why not walk off your indulgent lunch with a stroll around Berry Head Nature Reserve?
