Teignmouth
From Wikitravel
Teignmouth is a town in South Devon. Teignmouth is situated on red sandstone South Devon coast at the mouth of Teign Estuary. It is a small resort town with a victorian pier and promenade. Every summer it hosts a folk festival. [1]
[edit] Get in
Teignmouth has a train station located near the centre of town on the line from London Paddington to Penzance in Cornwall. It is served by Crosscountry[2] and First Great Western [3]trains. The journey from Exeter is famous for its beauty as it hugs the red sandstone cliffs with great views out to open sea. It is worth getting the train to Exeter just for the journey. Teignmouth is also just 15 miles from Exeter International Airport [4] which has scheduled flights to many destinations in the UK and Europe.
[edit] Get around
Most of Teignmouth can easily be reached by foot. Taxis can be found near the train station. Buses leave from the centre of town for Exeter, Torquay and Newton Abbot.
