Torbay

Yes.

Otherwise known as the English Riviera.

Absolutely.

What did your, your childhood look like? Were you into all sorts of sports, or was it always golf for you?

Ernest Augustus, the first elector, was nineteen at the date when the Peace of Westphalia put an end to the Thirty Years' War, and fifty-nine when William of Orange landed at Torbay.

A Scotch gentleman much given to traveling, who was English consul at Amsterdam and who published in that city in the year of the English Revolution, 1688, an account of his travels, gives us some insight into the court of Hanover.
