Coastwalk , South West Coast Path
Teignmouth → Starcross
Distance: 9.7 miles
Ascent: unknown
Duration: 6 hours
The train beach
« Shaldon | Exmouth »
(The distance summary covers Teignmouth to Starcross, then around the Esplanade in Exmouth.)
We used to visit Gran for a week every summer. The holidays developed a regular pattern, and before long the beach to the north of Teignmouth fast became our favourite. We knew it as The Train Beach since the mainline to London runs along the seawall here, sandwiched between crashing waves and deep red sandstone cliffs.
Today's walk started at Teignmouth and followed the railway all the way to Starcross.
