The Teign Estuary Trail is a long-term aspiration of Devon County Council, forming part of the council’s Cycling and Multi-use Trail Strategy with work being undertaken to progress the design of various sections over recent years.
The first section of the Teign Estuary Trail between Town Quay, Newton Abbot and Kingsteignton was opened in March 2013. This section, while part of the future Teign Estuary route, is a valuable connection for local utility trips to work and other facilities in its own right.
More recently, the route eastwards linking Newton Abbot Racecourse to Passage House Inn opened in April 2018. This currently leaves a gap on the coastal walking and cycling route between Passage House Inn and Dawlish.
From Dawlish, the path already connects to the Exe Estuary Trail and provides a high-quality route via Exeter to Exmouth.
Teign Estuary Trail Campaign A campaign to ensure that Devon County Council are aware of the importance of this cycle trail and that they give the development of the trail a priority within their budgets. It is without doubt that the Teignmouth to Newton Abbot Cycle Path will have significant economic, tourism and health benefits for our community. It will be a facility which can be enjoyed by all, not only cyclists but pedestrians, the young, the old, the able bodied and the mobility handicapped. If we look at other cycle paths in the county and the whole country they have had a
huge positive impact on the communities they are located in.
