You step onto the slick cobbles of Brixham harbour, gulls arguing overhead and the sea hurrying at the quay like an impatient audience.

Brixham grew into a major English fishing port in the 19th century and has long been linked to smuggling and coastal trade; the tour uses a pirate persona to animate those stories.
