Shaldon Water Carnival

Across the Teign Estuary lies the lovely Regency Village of Shaldon. Every year they run their own version of a Carnival. It is not the street variety, but a fun packed procession of boats of all sorts, from dinghies to cruisers dressed overall, sailing round and round the estuary sporting all kinds of whacky themes and making a great deal of noise in the process. There are plenty of spectators crowded on to Shaldon and Teignmouth River beaches cheering them on - oh and the pubs on both sides do a roaring trade too!
