Teign Ferry Leaving Teignmouth
The small ferry boat has just departed from its landing point at Teignmouth Back Beach to make the short crossing to Shaldon on the other side of the estuary.
Teignmouth to Shaldon Ferry
The Teignmouth to Shaldon Ferry is a central part of life on the River Teign and is possibly the oldest passenger service in England.
The ferry crossing can be traced back to 1296, but is probably much older, with origins in Saxon times. It has always been an important link and in those days saved a 14 mile journey to Shaldon and beyond, via Newton Abbot.
