Bishopsteignton Village Gallery
Bishopsteignton is a large village, on the banks of the Teign Estuary. It is located 2 miles from Teignmouth and 4 miles from Newton Abbot. The village lies on the slopes of Haldon and Faldon hills, which offer it some protection from southerly and easterly winds. Bishopsteignton offers all the facilities that would be expected of a village of its size. These include a village shop, post office, chemist, garage, garden centre, vineyard, pubs, hotel and restaurant. The village has 3 churches (Church of England, Methodist and Gospel) and public halls which regularly host clubs and public events.
The parish of Bishopsteignton extends as far as Broadmeadow (the boundary with Teignmouth), along the estuary to Wear Farm, and up onto the top of Haldon Hill. The 2001 Census put the local population at just under 2500 people. The village has grown significantly over the past 100 years or so, as shown by the census of 1931, which put the population of the parish at 1175.
