Walk This Way Teignmouth

Walk This Way Teignmouth Exploits of the weekly Walk This Way group in Teignmouth. Walk This Way is a scheme organised through Teignbridge District Council.

It offers a variety of walks in Teignbridge welcoming all ages and abilities. Get walking, meet new people and explore the town and countryside all on your doorstep - you will soon feel the benefits that gentle exercise can bring! In Teignmouth we meet weekly at 10am at the Pier. You can join one of two walks here depending on how far you would like to walk. Level 1 walks are generally flat and around half-an-hour. Level 2 walks are usually longer (around an hour to hour and a quarter) and may include hills. We meet up afterwards at one of the many coffee-shops in the town.

16 Teignmouth WTW members, including 2 new walkers plus Milo the dog enjoyed another lovely walk earlier today

As planned, we caught the 11 Torquay bus just after 10.30am .

We got off our bus at Wellswood then walked on up,along and down the lovely peaceful Lincombe Drive

Our walk then took us on further downhill to Torquay Harbour

12 of us had refreshments at the Lighthouse cafe ,2 others went to a different cafe ,1 went shopping and another went off for a haircut 👍🏻

Few of us went for a quick wander around the harbourside area and nearby shops - at Hoopers we managed to resist the £1k handbag reduced to £900+😁

We all managed to catch the same bus home arriving in Teignmouth by 2.30pm

REMINDER next week we're on a guided tour of Teignmouth old cemetery to see the 49 Commonwealth War Graves and to view the knitted Remembrance Poppies display

We'll be catching the number 80 Country bus at 9.50am from the WH Smiths/TG Jones bus stop in town or if you prefer meet us by the Commonweath War Graves notice board near the middle of the lime tree avenue driveway in the old cemetery

NB paths in cemetery are mainly grass,there are no toilets and DOGS ARE NOT ALLOWED within the cemetery

We’ll go and check out the path repairs in November …

Super new walk for our Teignmouth Walk this Way group this morning - researched & led by Ann L

Enjoyable though slightly longer walk than usual in Exeter - 3 Parks & a River + 3 stations !

We ie 15 of us caught the 9.40am train from Teignmouth and we’re joined by 3 more of our walkers at Dawlish

As planned we started our circular walk at Exeter Central station after a quick welcome to our new walker

Ann led us down through an area of Exeter most of us were unfamiliar with to the river near the Mill on the Exe pub .After crossing the bridge we walked alongside the river to St Thomas . We managed to avoid the temptation of numerous shops and were soon walking through our first park ie St Thomas Pleasure Gardens .Then it was back along the riverside towards St David’s station - there was an unfortunate incident with a bad tempered cyclist who rode into one of our walkers legs claiming angrily that she’d rung her bell ie whilst attempting to ride at speed close to the waters edge !

We were soon crossing the bridge then railway lines by St David’s Station - next we walked uphill towards Central Station .After stopping for a discussion ref refreshment stop choice we all went to the The Imperial a very large and grand Weatherspoons - full of students from the nearby university and college !

After our drinks plus yummy Christmas cake (brought to share by one of our walkers )we walked on through our 2nd park ie Bury Meadow Park and on on to our 3rd park ie Northernhay Gardens

A few walkers went off shopping in Exeter and the majority caught the train home from the nearby Central Station

Many thanks again to Ann L for leading us all on such a lovely new walk 👍🏻

REMINDER next Weds walk Oct 22nd -meet up near the pier by around 10am then we’re catching the 10.33am Torquay 11 bus from Teignmouth Post Office to Wellswood .

We’re walking along the lovely Lincombe Drive then down to Torquay Harbour for refreshments before catching our bus home - hourly buses back at 40 mins past the hour from nearby Torwood St 👍🏻

10 walkers on our somewhat eventful walk this morning -weather overcast after light drizzle overnight

Bus 15 minutes late leaving Teignmouth due to local road works,alas it broke down at Holcombe so then it was plan B !

Luckily the 11 Dawlish Warren bus pulled in behind our bus so we were soon heading for our planned end of walk refreshment stop via a different route 👍

We walked from Dawlish Warren along footpaths to the Anchor Inn at Cockwood- we were again invited to book the group in for complimentary Christmas nibbles - now arranged for Dec 17th

Apologies I didn't remember to take a group photo this morning ,also missed taking a pic of the beautiful michaelmass daisies in the field by the harbour -unsure of identity of fungi we saw during the walk?

REMINDER next week Weds Oct 15th we're going on another new walk- called 3 Parks and a River

We're catching the 9.40am train from Teignmouth to Exeter Central ready to begin our circular walk -best get your return tickets in plenty of time before catching the train from platform 2 ie over the bridge 👍

Lovely dry sunny weather for our walk this morning

16 walkers enjoyed a hilly walk in Dawlish up to by the 7 Sisters Trees where we rested on the 3 benches plus enjoyed the scenic views

Somewhat steep pavement walk down into Dawlish plus a small detour due to roadworks …most of us went into the Strand Centre for our refreshments before catching buses home

However in future as the Strand Centre is so very busy at lunchtimes if we arrive in Dawlish after 11.30am we’ll be finding a different cafe or pub venue for our refreshments

REMINDER next week Weds Oct 8th - meet up by the pier around 10am then we’re catching same bus as today ie 10.18am Exeter bus from Teignmouth PO to the stop after Cockwood Harbour .We’re walking along Staplake Lane a gentle uphill stroll then down to Starcross - refreshments at The Anchor Inn Cockwood before catching our buses home

NB Don’t forget if interested in local honey from Holcombe Orchard at £7 per jar let Neil or me know asap - limited jars available 👍🏻

13 Teignmouth Walk this Way walkers enjoyed a lovely seafront walk this morning in lovely warm sunshine - from near the pier to our refreshment stop at the Salty Dog Smugglers Lane Holcombe - then back via same route to Teignmouth

High tide was at 7.48am nevertheless a few of us got a surprise with a little sea spray over the sea wall between Sprey Point and the cafe😁

Couple of photos in comments below - bit blurry plus not everyone fully in photos 🙃

REMINDER next Weds Oct 1st - we’re walking uphill to the 7 Sisters at Dawlish - we’ll meet up by the pier by 10am then catch the number 2 Exeter bus at 10.18am from Teignmouth Post Office

Due to wet weather forecast for Dartmoor our planned Venford Reservoir walk was postponed …instead 14 Teignmouth WTW walkers enjoyed a 90 minute new walk ie a circular walk in woodland at Mamhead - with super views from near the Obelisk down to the River Exe and beyond ..

Very special thanks to Ann P for researching and leading our walk this morning plus many thanks also to our 4 car drivers Ann P, Ann L, Stu and Steve 👍🏻

REMINDER next week it’s a level local walk - we’re walking along the seafront then on alongside the railway line on the sea wall to our refreshment stop at the Salty Dog - last chance to use this lovely cafe for a while as it’s closing end of Sept for annual winter break .

Meet up as usual around 10am near the pier ready to start walk at 10.15am - new walkers always welcome to join us on our weekly Weds walks .New walkers should please register on line on Teignbridge District Council website .

16 Teignmouth Walk this Way walkers survived a hilly walk from near the pier via Eastcliff,Love Lane & Holcombe to our end of walk refreshment stop at the Smugglers Inn this morning

Very good turn out of regular group members considering the wet weather - we were all somewhat wet & bedraggled by the time we reached the pub!

If a wet weather gear company would like us to try out their waterproof jackets and trousers for free we’d be up for the challenge😁😁😁

REMINDER- our next WTW walk on Weds Sept 17th is a car share trip to Dartmoor organised by Ann P - we’re walking around Venford Reservoir .NB Venford reservoir supplies Torbay with water - the reservoir was built by the Hawkins company of Dawlish along with Albert Best a local Teignmouth plumber/whitesmith who is buried in Teignmouth old cemetery👍🏻

We have 4 WTW car drivers signed up and places available for the walk next week are now fully booked - please be ready to leave by car from Teignmouth railway station car park at 10am 👍🏻

11 regular Teignmouth WTW walkers plus Pat a new walker wisely braved the stormy wet weather forecast this morning

As planned we caught the bus to Sainsburys at Dawlish -memo to self next time take the pedestrian path from the front of shop instead of leading walkers via the car park !

As we walked alongside the stream there was light rain which had thankfully cleared by the time we reached the main road in Dawlish Warren ..

We walked on via offroad paths to our refreshment stop at the Anchor Inn at Cockwood 👍

There was a torrential downpour just as we were finishing our drinks then thankfully rain stopped as we left to catch our bus back home👍

🎄WTW annual Christmas Lunch at the Alice Cross Centre in town🎄
I have rung the ACC today and spoken with Dave the chef - our lunch is provisionally booked for Weds December 10th .I will speak with manager Peta asap ie when she's back from her hols to confirm booking date ,our meal time , menus and costs 👍

REMINDER next Weds Sept 10th we're meeting up around 10am near the pier ready to leave at 10.15am for a local favourite walk .We'll walk on up Eastcliff to Cliff Rd then along Love Lane,on down the lane behind the Minidab B&B to Holcombe then on uphill to our refreshment stop at the Smugglers Inn .Buses back home from nearby bus stop😁

Despite the wet weather forecast we had a good turn out of 14 Teignmouth Walk this Way walkers this morning - who all enjoyed a really lovely mostly level new walk route for our group ..

13 of us from Teignmouth & Dawlish caught the bus as planned to Newton Abbot - however we were already soaked through before we even got on the bus - then as the bus went through a large puddle near B&Q at least a couple of us got even wetter when water came over us via the open bus window 😰😰

As planned Steve met up with us at NA bus station and lead us on via the off road footpath by Asda to Bakers Park and beyond ie Bradley Woods

Thankfully by the time we stopped for a group photo by Bradley Manor the rain eased off and the sun came out 👍🏻

We continued on alongside the river along pathways through the large woodland ..mainly flat underfoot with a few tree roots and some stoney ground plus a large puddle by a kissing gate we managed to get through successfully twice 😁

After an hours walking we turned and returned via the same route to Bakers Park - six of us went to the park cafe for our refreshment break and others went shopping in town or caught bus straight home 👍🏻

Definitely a very enjoyable walk which we’ll certainly be doing again next year 👍🏻

REMINDER the number 2 Stagecoach buses change back to a half hourly service at the end of August - next week our Sept 3rd walk is from Sainsbury’s at Dawlish along path alongside stream then on to our refreshment stop at the Anchor Inn Cockwood

We’ll meet up by the pier around 10am then catch the Exeter bus at 10.18am from the Teignmouth PO bus stop - buses home from Cockwood Harbour are at approx 25 & 55 minutes past the hour

NB Ann P has put a poll on our WTW What’s App group as we need confirmation from our WTW walkers asap if they wish to come on our Sept 17th car share trip to Vennford Reservoir on Dartmoor 👍🏻

20/08/2025

Good early turn out of 17 Teignmouth Walk This Way walkers for a new Exeter walk for us this morning 👍🏻

As planned we ie 11 of us caught the 9.40am train to Marsh Barton with 3 getting on earlier at Newton and later another 3 at Dawlish 👍🏻

Saw lots of pretty musk mallow as we left the station then along the canal side lots of purple loosestrife ,mallow,tansy etc in flower 👍🏻

The canal side walk from the station to Exeter Quay is lovely however rather short so we carried on walking along the waterside as far as the Mill on the Exe pub …sad to see all the awful graffiti and litter along the way 😢

On the plus side there were cormorants ,a heron and a family of swans in the water as well as numerous ducks 👏

As we made our way back on the other side of the canal to our refreshment stop at the Quayside 3 of the walkers headed off into the city centre .

We did spot a litter picker had arrived to start clearing all the bottles,cans,cardboard and other litter we’d seen on the other side of the water 👍🏻

Just before the Quay we spotted a lovely large double heart made from pigeon feathers along the grass bank …very artistic!

The rest of us had our break at the Quayside Antique Shop cafe before heading back home via our choses train or bus route

REMINDER it’s another new walk for us next Weds …meet up near pier by 10am then we’re catching the 10.05am Newton Abbot bus from by Teignmouth Post Office .Steve is meeting us as we get off the bus - we’re walking from by Asda to Bakers Park which we’ll explore plus walk in woodland near Bradley Manor …refreshment stop possibly back in Newton before we catch bus home 👍🏻
