Teignmouth was attacked by Danes and French raiders alike, but one 17th-century raid earned the town a permanent place in English history.
The last French attack on England
The Saxon settlement of Tegutum was burned by the Danes in 970 and razed by the French in 1338, but it's the raid of 26 July 1690 that stands out: a French landing party attacked and burned Teignmouth, in what's considered the last-ever French attack on English soil.
England's longest wooden bridge
Teignmouth is connected to the village of Shaldon by a wooden bridge of 34 arches stretching 1,672 feet — the longest wooden bridge in England. The town is also the birthplace of Charles Babbage, regarded as the father of the computer.
