Summary

Ford. The river teign was fordable at low water before the deepening of channels for navigation. Its antiquity is uncertain but its existence is highly likely as evidenced by the two old lanes, hackney lane and buckland road which terminate on the southern bank and the existence of the passage house inn on the northern bank (unattributed).
