Nos 24-28 The Mount
The Mount estate on a very steep slope is one of Teignmouth's more extreme residential impositions on the landscape. One's heart goes out to the architect, the builder and the residents who have had to cope at various times with the big changes of level.

Elmonte Close, a private road off Buckeridge Road
Private roads are a feature of Teignmouth's older suburbs. Elmonte Close is no more than a shared drive; some private roads are more substantial while at the other end of the spectrum they are grassy tracks.

Looking north across Hawkins Drive, Teignmouth
Seen from the Exeter Road the roofs of Hawkins Drive are below the camera. New Road crosses the picture below centre with the cemetery beyond it in
Image Beyond that, new estates have climbed relentlessly up these steep hillsides. The highest line of houses is Maudlin Drive with the fields of Holcombe Down on the ridge above in
Image It seems to me important that these fields are not built on; they make the town feel contained. To the east, the houses reach the skyline and could go on for ever.

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.
