DEVON is a large county in southwestern England
The name "Devon" derives from the ancient Dumnonia, which was home to the independent kingdom of Brythonic Celtic speaking people who inhabited this area of the southwestern peninsula of Britain continuously from through the Roman era until partial absorption into the English-speaking Kingdom of Wessex some time in the eighth or ninth century.

Teignmouth is a seaside town, fishing port and civil parish in the English county of Devon. It is on the north bank of the estuary mouth of the River Teign, about 19 km south of Exeter. The town had a population of 14,932 at the 2021 census.
From the 1800s onwards, the town grew rapidly in size from a fishing port associated with the Newfoundland cod industry to a fashionable resort of some note in Georgian times; there was further expansion after the opening of the South Devon Railway in 1846. Today, its port still operates and the town remains a popular seaside and day-trip holiday location.
Although reduced from its heyday, Teignmouth still receives a considerable number of holiday makers. It is twinned with the French town Perros-Guirec.

Taken from the bedroom window of the 14th pub in Torbryan, Devon we stayed in recently. The rainbow only lasted a few minutes, and I was fortunate enough to be there when it appeared.
The church is as old as the pub.
Although the harbour is technically within the parish of Axmouth, the ancient village of Axmouth is about one mile upriver. Over the centuries much silt has been deposited in the River Axe, and Axmouth is no longer at the river's mouth. In fact, the harbour is right next to Seaton, which is on this side of the river, and where there is a yacht club and a small marina. Connecting Axmouth with Seaton was the first concrete bridge in this country, dating from 1877. The old bridge, which can just be seen on the far left, is still used by pedestrians, but a more modern one alongside caters for road traffic. Several hundred years ago, Axmouth harbour was quite important and is said to have accounted for one-sixth of Devon's trade in the 16th century. But the constant silting up and the arrival of the railway at Seaton in 1868 made it uncompetitive to bring goods in by sea. The harbour is now only used by small pleasure craft and local fishing boats, and is virtually inaccessible at low tide.
