^{Babbacombe Cliff Railway is a funicular railway in the town of Torquay in the English county of Devon. It links Babbacombe Downs with Oddicombe Beach. The line runs from March to the end of October from 9:30am to 5.55pm. A bell is rung at the bottom station 30 and 15 minutes before closing.}

^{In February 1923, the Torquay Tramway Company commissioned Waygood-Otis Ltd with the engineering and construction of the railway. The line was first opened on 1 April 1926, but ceased operation during World War II for security reasons. The railway reopened in 1951 after modernization by Messrs J & E Hall of Dartford. The railway underwent further refurbishment in 1993 and a three-year programme of renovation commenced in November 2005.}

^{The ownership of the line was transferred from Torbay Council to a specially created community interest company in July 2009.[}

^{Oddicombe Beach is a popular beach, noted for its interesting Breccia cliffs, below the Babbacombe district of Torbay, Devon in England.}

^{The beach includes many facilities which include a cafe, beach hut and deck chair hire, a beach shop, trampolines, motor boat hire, pedalo hire and kayak hire.}

^{In February 2010 part of the cliffs at Oddicombe caved in, resulting in a large rockfall onto a part of the beach and into the sea. The sea subsequently wore away several rocks, staining the sea in the area and the beach pink for a number of weeks.}
