Devon - Teignmouth Waterside Village

Teignmouth is a delightful unspoilt holiday town nestling at the mouth of the river Teign.

It has a wonderful sandy beach with a long promenade which boasts one of the few remaining Piers in England.

There are excellent local facilities including heated swimming pool, indoor sports centre, tennis, mini-golf, children’s play park, horse riding, sea fishing/river trips, sailing etc.

Historical Exeter is a short drive away with bustling Torquay and peaceful Dartmoor all within easy reach.

Shaldon is a lovely waterside village on the River Teign with quaint houses, a village green used for bowls, a wide range of shops, hotels, restaurants and inns – some adjacent to the beach. Leisure activities here include fishing, gig racing and boating of all types.

The village boasts fun for all with two annual sailing events, the regatta and the water carnival. There is a small golf course and there are several excellent golf clubs nearby. Teignmouth is reached by passenger ferry over the river or by car or walking across the bridge.

In Teignmouth, Riverside Holidays have two wonderful west facing riverfront properties in the town centre of Teignmouth with panoramic views of the River Teign, Shaldon & Dartmoor.
