Shoreside is a small development on the banks of the River Teign in Shaldon, one of Devon’s most scenic villages. This property has been built to a high specification so as to blend in with the local architecture. The riverside location makes this a superb place to enjoy a holiday.
Shaldon village has welcoming pubs that, along with the superb views across the estuary, serve some excellent meals as well as cafés to choose from. There is a good range of local shops including a bakery, general stores, a local butcher and a delicatessen.
A short climb to ’The Ness’, a tree topped cliff overlooking the mouth of the river will be rewarded by a magnificent view across to Teignmouth and out to sea. Shaldon Wildlife Trust, a small zoo dedicated to conservation, is also located here.
There is a small passenger ferry available which transports visitors on a scenic crossing from Shaldon beach over to Teignmouth. Whilst in Teignmouth take a scenic stroll along the banks of the River Teign or take in a little nostalgia on the seafront pier, which also provides stunning views along the coastline.
For visitors in search of some retail therapy, then Exeter is just a short drive away, catering for all your shopping demands. Whilst there, pay a visit to the impressive Exeter Cathedral or stroll along the picturesque canal, home to an array of antique shops and waterside cafés.
