The stunning natural heritage of Torquay, Paignton and Brixham has taken a starring role in a short film about the English Riviera Geopark.

The ‘We Love Our Geopark' film is aimed at educating and building awareness of UNESCO's first Urban Global Geopark. The film, combines animation and live action to trace the unique geology of the area, from the formation of the planet 4.6 billion years ago to industries and the environment.

Patron of the English Riviera Geopark, BBC's Dr Iain Stewart said: "If a picture is worth a thousand words then a film must be worth a million, especially if the subject matter is as photogenic as the English Riviera Geopark. This film is the perfect vehicle for introducing people to the outstanding natural heritage of the English Riviera and for encouraging them to explore the Geopark further."

The English Riviera received international recognition in 2007 for its rich geological, historical and cultural heritage, it became one of just 57 areas around the world to endorsed by UNESCO and welcomed into both the European and Global Geopark Networks.

Experience the Geopark for yourself via the numerous geosites located around the bay. From the gateway site of Kents Cavern to Historic Torre Abbey, Berry Head Nature Reserve and the Goodrington Seashore Centre, there is a geosite to suit everyone’s interests.
