Location
Teignmouth and nearby Shaldon, offer a range of local amenities including pubs, restaurants, shops and supermarkets. The larger towns of Torquay & Newton Abbot are approximately 9 miles away or a 15 minute drive. The main railway line in Teignmouth is just a 10 minute walk from Grand Banks and the M5 to Exeter is also within 15 minutes reach.
With all this on your doorstep, the opportunities for a luxurious, relaxed, outdoor lifestyle are limitless.
Grand Banks is located next to a west coast railway line so there is some noise from the trains during the day but the trains don’t run overnight. For stream train enthusiasts this is a great location for watching the Devon’s steam trains that regularly pass through Teignmouth during the spring and summer seasons.
