Teignmouth (pronounced 'Tinmouth') is a town on the east bank of the estuary mouth of the River Teign in south Devon, United Kingdom. The port, in existence since the 13th century, is still active, mostly handling clay, timber and grain, with many smaller pleasure craft mooring in the wide estuary. The town is linked with Shaldon, the village on the opposite bank, by a passenger ferry at the river mouth and by a road bridge further upstream. Although greatly reduced from its hey-day, Teignmouth still receives considerable numbers of holiday makers, most of whom visit the sea facing beach and the Pier with its amusement arcade and rides.
