Walking along the tidal zone was beautiful, exciting; It's a special and beautiful route; a lovely walk mostly along the River Teign. A unique intertidal foreshore walk along the River Teign, with significant stretches between tidal high and low water that are covered by the sea for several hours each tide. The surface is predominantly shingle, frequently damp, often covered in slippery eel grass and seaweed and with a slight camber and sharp shells and debris underfoot. The Shaldon-to-Teignmouth stretch is on pavements and good paths. Includes the lower third of the Templer Way from Newton Abbot Town Quay to Shaldon, with Templer Way signs to follow. Tide tables are posted on Town Quay in Newton Abbot and in Teignmouth and Shaldon, and available online (use Teignmouth as location). A ferry runs from Shaldon to Teignmouth. Toilets in Newton Abbot, Shaldon and Teignmouth.
Coastal: almost all along the coast.
Time: 2h30–5h30
Lunch: Cafes at Shaldon allow a more leisurely stop without tide worries.
Warnings: This is a tidal route that is dangerous if you have not checked tide times: the intertidal stretch between the A380 bridge and Shaldon should not be attempted above half tide (ideally within 2 hours of low water). Never walk out onto the exposed mud banks or short-cut across coves such as Netherton, Coombe Cellars or Arch Brook, where the soft mud is easy to sink into and very hard to escape. The surface is slippery and uneven with many trip hazards; wear walking shoes or boots with good soles.
