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.

[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 Virgin and First Great Western trains. The journey from Exeter is famous for its beauty as it hugs the sandstone cliffs with great views out to open sea. It is worth getting the train to Exeter just for the journey.

[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.
