The Teign estuary is less than 200 metres wide at its narrowest point but this little ferry boat takes a 400m trip across to Shaldon several times an hour. Passengers pay a small single fare for each trip.

Teignmouth to Shaldon Ferry (provided by N Chadwick)

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.
