Overview

Why move to Teignmouth - Extract from article published in Devon Life - June 2007

Moving fast from Victorian seaside town to 21st-century lifestyle resort, Teignmouth's lively mix of pubs,restaurants and newly pedestrianised streets, together with its famous November jazz festival, makes it a town for all seasons. By Caroline James.

The Den is a hive of activity. Its wide lawns play host to the summer carnival and other events, yet it retains its Victorian elegance with its miniature lighthouse, flowerbeds and pier. A new adventure golf course, cafe and games area is planned near the childrens playground, and the former Riviera Cinema is being redeveloped into flats, although the performance space will not be lost as the auditorium and cinema seats are remaining in the centre. West Teignmouth, with its ferry, waterside inns and working docks, which handle imports of animal feeds, fertiliser, timber and stone, and exports of ball clay, will soon have a new quay and storage buildings. The St James Conservation Area around the Grade II Listed church is being enlarged to preserve this historic part of town, and the proposed Flood Defence Scheme along River Beach will render the area more secure against coastal storms. Employment and jobs should increase with the development around the Broadmeadow Sports Centre, which includes managed workshop starter units.

Transport Links

Isambard Kingdom Brunel insisted on running his atmospheric pressure railway from Exeter to Newton Abbot and Plymouth along the coast to include the seaside towns, a resolution which has proved its worth over and over again. Most trains stop at Teignmouth, making it an excellent commuter town for workers and schoolchildren. On the buses, number 85 will take you from Torquay through Teignmouth, Dawlish and Dawlish Warren to Exeter, with the 85a, 85X and 184 running from Exeter to Newton Abbot. The 886 runs to Teignmouth from Newton Abbot through Shaldon. The Shaldon ferry crosses regularly from the harbour to The Point all year round.

Famous for…The last English town ever to be ransacked by the French in 1690. Although they almost razed it to the ground, such was the determination of the locals to rebuild, a national whip-round was organised.

Shopping

Teignmouth boasts a wealth of unusual shops, the main areas being Bank Street, Wellington Street and The Triangle. Teign Street, with its Dickensian bow-fronted windows is fast coming into its own, where you can still have your timepieces repaired at the Clock & Watch Centre. Pick up an original handcrafted ornament from Tricia Kirkby at her Garstone showrooms on River Beach (01626 775925, www.garstoneornaments.co.uk) or buy an old- fashioned dolls house from Andrews MiniatureWorld in The Strand.

Two lifestyle sports shops 3sums with its motto of Surf, Skate, Snow, and The Beach in Northumberland Place reflect Teignmouths growing chic. Shoes range from good value leather basics to European brand names at Moshulu Shoes on The Triangle and original, brightly coloured designs at Brodequin in Teign Street.

Summer wouldnt be the same without a gigantic Devon vanilla ice cream from Amandas Bakery in Northumberland Place for just 1.30. The home-made bread, pasties and cakes are delicious, and you can sample more from A & B Conday, The Wee Shoppe Bakery and the Home Made Bakery. Nutters in Bank Street stocks an extensive range of organic health foods and caters for those with gluten intolerance; its Christmas catalogue is full of vegetarian goodies. Add in the chemists, greengrocers, banks and estate agents and Co-op supermarket, and you have a self-contained shopping centre.

Like Bank Street, The Triangle has been pedestrianised and is starting to adapt to cafe society. Pickwicks Tea Room and The Dairy Maid Restaurant serve traditional English food, including the ever-popular cream tea. Opposite, Luders Patisserie is reputed to be something of an institution in Teignmouth because of its handmade chocolates, Easter eggs, hot-cross buns with natural spices and an endless variety of cakes and pastries.

Eating Out

The grand old man of Teignmouth pubs is Ye Olde Jolly Sailor in Northumberland Place, which started serving ale in 1132 as the Ferry Boat Inn to passengers from the Shaldon ferry. New Quay Inn was a fish smokery and, it is believed, a smugglers den, but the scuffling footsteps have now given way to live music on Fridays and every other Saturday. There are around 14 pubs in all quite a choice for a small town, many offering live music and karaoke.

Restaurants include seafood, two Indian Naz and the Taj Mahal, Mongolian X, an authentic Italian aptly named The Colosseum, and The Owl & the Pussycat, with its wide range of European dishes which all contain free-range (and mostly organic) meat and fish from Brixham. Carlinos is a new bistro in the refurbished Riviera complex.

Famous for…The Victorian pier, which is one of the few privately owned piers left in the country, with its old- fashioned penny slot machines.

Out and About

Take the ferry over to Shaldon to join the end of the Templer Way, named after George Templer who built a granite railway to transport the stone from Haytor quarries on Dartmoor through the Stover canal to Teignmouth. This 18-mile walk follows the Teign estuary up to Newton Abbot, running through Jetty Marsh Nature Reserve and on to Stover Country Park. At Yarner Wood you can clearly follow the granite tracks up to Haytor. Ashorter walk is Old Maids Walk along the sea wall to Dawlish, so-called because the former Victorian rough track was not kind to elderly feet. Carry on to Dawlish Warren and the nature reserve, which is home to more than 620 plants, including the exclusive Warren crocus and a collection of orchids, plus migrant birds such as avocets and Brent geese. Inland, near Kenn, Haldon Forest offers cycle trails for all ages and abilities, plus a butterfly and play trail and a bridleway.

Famous for…The Teignmouth Jazz Festival, to be held over the weekend 23-25 November, celebrates its 11th birthday this year, and attracts international jazz icons such as Greg Abate and George Huxley, as well as Westcountry artists.
