There has been a ferry here for many centuries, always providing a well used service. The ferry that runs today is community run and offers the chance to nip across theTaw and Torridge Estuary and explore both sides!
One of England's oldest working ferries, the Teign Ferry provides a regular service between Teignmouth and Shaldon across a picturesque harbour estuary. The first recorded service across the Teign dates all the way back to the 10th Century.
Great for when you really want to slow the pace of life - horse drawn narrowboat trips on the Grand Western Canal. Built in 1814, the canal is now a Local Nature Reserve, home to an abundance of wildlife including otters, dragonflies, kingfishers and swans. Sit back, relax and enjoy the last horse drawn barge in the South West.
Cruises up and down the Dart River; try the Sunday Lunch Cruise or even the Murder Mystery Cruise for added fun.
Get up close to the local wildlife - birds, seals and dolphins - along some of England's most dramatic coastline.
A day out at the seaside would not be complete without time on the water and here you can choose from an hour long sea safari to a trip around smugglers caves. See seals, lighthouses and even a waterfall. Call in to see them and book your adventure.
Mid Devon Hire Boats & Moorings who supply a luxury 5 berth Narrowboat for holidays and short breaks on the Grand Western Canal within a Country Park and local nature reserve.
Hop aboard the water taxi for a visit to Plymouth's Barbican, where you'll find pubs, bars, restaurants and the Marine Aquarium. From there, it's a 15 minute walk into the city centre.
A day trip to Lundy Island to amble around its its pristine shoreline, 13th Century castle and lighthouse is a lovely way to spend the day. Cruise over on Lundy's own ship, the MS Oldenburg. Everything you need is on board: bar, buffet, shop and information centre. From Bideford and Ilfracombe the sailing time is under two hours.
Pleasure boat trips to Brixham and Dartmouth, dolphin watching on the river Teign and mackerel and deep sea fishing excursions from Teignmouth Back Beach.
