Looking across Buckeridge Road from Trinity School
Above Trinity School and the last house in Glenside Close, opposite, Buckeridge Road narrows and steepens. In places it still has the character of a country lane.

Glenside Close, a private road off Buckeridge Road
Private roads are a feature of Teignmouth's older suburbs. Glenside Close is relatively substantial; some private roads are more like shared drives, while at the other end of the spectrum they are grassy tracks.
Balconies enjoy sea views on these steep south-facing hillsides.

Looking down Trinity Close
A recent residential development off Grange Drive. The unexpected glimpse of the town through a gap emphasizes the height to which Teignmouth's new estates have climbed and are still climbing.

Monterey Pine, Elmonte Close
This impressive tree is a landmark in this residential area. There is a house called Monterey in Elmonte Close, a private road.
Monterey Pine (Pinus radiata D.Don) was introduced from California in 1833. It has done particularly well in southwest England and in Ireland. It's a 'three-needled' pine, that is, the needles are joined at the base in bunches of three, "densely-set, bright green, slender, straight, turning orange-brown before falling". The cones are large, squat and markedly asymmetrical at the base. They may be retained on the branches and trunk for many years.
