A glimpse of the Ness from Highgrove Park, Teignmouth
The ingredients of a sort of paradise for some: a dog, a block-paved drive, dwarf conifers in pots, a glimpse of the sea. A sea view is sought after, I have no doubt.

Houses at the junction of Abbey Close and Highgrove Park, Teignmouth
Highgrove Park is the spine road of a residential development on a steep hillside. The relative positions of these two houses show how steep. Between them is a glimpse of St Scholastica's, a former Benedictine nunnery converted to apartments.

Western end of Benedict Close, Teignmouth
Benedict Close is a couple of closes off Highgrove Park, residential development on a steep hillside. A former hedgerow oak has been retained, upper right, revealing the puny scle of the houses. There is a glimpse of older development among the now-mature evergreen trees planted by the Victorians. In the far distance is southern Dartmoor.
