Teignmouth, on the mouth of the Teign estuary, is a small fishing port with a long history as a deep water port.
For 400 years, from Tudor times until 19th Century, there was a transatlantic trade, fishing in Newfoundland for Cod
These days Teignmouth has an old fashioned laid back charm with ta Victorian pier and a small but interesting museum
There is still a working harbour, with many vessels,both large ships, smaller fishing boats and pleasure craft coming and going.
There is a ferry across the river at Teignmouth
as there has been for over a thousand years. |
