About Teignmouth
Named the Gem of the South West, Teignmouth is a popular seaside holiday location and fishing port. With a history dating back over a thousand years, Teignmouth has grown into bustling town loved by visitors and residents alike.
Teignmouth is located below the Haldon Hills and on the estuary of the River Teign and because of its close proximity to the sea Teignmouth has warmer winters with less frost and snow, as well as cooler summers compared to other areas of southern England.
One of the best things about Teignmouth is that the centre of town is flat, making it perfect for wandering along the promenade or going shopping. There are a variety of shops in Teignmouth including national chains and many local independent stores.
Dartmoor National Park's eastern approach or the city of Exeter can be reached by road within 30 minutes whilst Plymouth is about one hour's drive. Public transport links nearby Torbay and the market town of Newton Abbot.
