A seaside resort on north side of the estuary of the River Teign, extending round into the bay. Red clilffs, good sands and boating. The bridge across the river is one of the longest in England.
Teignmouth itself has little to recommend it beyond its delightful situation. A sand-bar, now built over, has destroyed its value as a harbour. Perhaps its greatest claim to fame is as the scene of an audacious French landing in the reign of William III, of which Macaulay gives a very graphic description.
"Tourville, finding that the whole population was united as one man against him, contented himself with sending his galleys to ravage Teignmouth, an unfortified market town which had given no provocation and could make no defence. A short cannonade put the inhabitants to flight. Seventeen hundred men landed and marched into the deserted streets. More than a hundred houses were burned to the ground. The cattle were slaughtered. The barks and fishing smacks which lay in the river were destroyed. Two parish churches were sacked, the Bibles and Paryer Books torn and scattered about the roads, the pulpits and communion tables demolished. By this time sixteen or seventeen thousand Devonshire men had encamped close to the shore; and all the neighbouring counties had risen. The tin mines of Cornwall had sent forth a great multitude of rude and hardy men mortally hostile to Popery. In truth, the whole nation was stirred."
