 Head into Torquay. The best way to find Daddy Hole is to follow signposts to 'Kents Cavern'. When you reach Kents Cavern, the narrow road winds down and around heading towards Torbay. Follow this road.

 The road then runs along the promenade, you will immediately see cliffs, part of Hopes Nose. Follow this road to the end of the Promenade and it will start to veer inland and climb a hill. These cliffs form part of Daddy Hole. There is a car park halfway up the hill on the left with some bottle banks in it. Park here and walk down the footpath to the promenade. Alternatively you can park along the promenade and walk to Daddy Hole. Climb up and over the large rock and you will immediately see Daddy Hole Quarry.
