Boundaries
The constituency covers the majority of the Torbay unitary authority in Devon, including the seaside resorts of Torquay and Paignton.
Parliament accepted the Boundary Commission's Fifth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies which slightly altered this constituency for the General Election 2010 since which it has electoral wards:
- Clifton-with-Maidenway, Cockington-with-Chelston, Ellacombe, Goodrington-with-Roselands, Preston, Roundham-with-Hyde, St Marychurch, Shiphay-with-the-Willows, Tormohun, Watcombe, and Wellswood.
The remainder of the borough is covered by the Totnes constituency.

—Edgar Allan Poe (18091845)

In this fresh, breezy atmosphere ... we will be surprised to find that many of our familiar old conventional truths look very queer indeed in some of the sudden side lights thrown upon them.”
—Bertha Honore Potter Palmer (18491918)
“We love to overlook the boundaries which we do not wish to pass.”
