Friends of Eastcliff Park
The ‘Friends’ are a group of people interested in the general maintenance and restoration of Eastcliff Park,
They are a group of local residents from across Teignmouth who are working with Teignbridge to plan for the future of the Park and to help restore parts of it, including the Dell and the Walled Garden. A committee of seven members meets monthly and the larger group meetings are quarterly.

Eastcliff Park is a large historically significant local green space sitting on top of the cliffs above the sea and the railway line. It consists of three distinct parts, The Rowdens, a lawned area overlooked by the beautiful Rowdens House, the Dell, a sub-tropical garden with three ponds, and Mules Park, open grassland. The Park offers all its users a relaxing recreational environment.

Just a short walk up from the end of the promenade, Eastcliff Park is one of Teignmouth’s hidden gems.
There are sloping meadows packed with wildlife, plenty of space to walk the dog and enjoy the views down to the sea and estuary. Eastcliff Park also offers formal lawns in front of the Rowdens House, an orchard, an ancient Walled Garden which is under restoration and a sub-tropical valley garden known as The Dell.

The cliff-top has a carpet of lilac, gold and green:
The blue sky bounds the ocean, the white clouds scud between.
A flock of gulls are wheeling and wailing round my seat;
Above my head the heaven, the sea beneath my feet.
Robert Bridges 1930


Around the house the flakes fly faster, And all the berries now are gone
From holly and cotoneaster Around the house the flakes fly!--faster
Shutting indoors that crumb-outcaster We used to see upon the lawn
Around the house the flakes fly faster, And all the berries now are gone!

Poem by Thomas Hardy

From the Chairman
"Our aim is to make the Dell a beautiful, quiet place for reflection and enjoyment for those who pass through or dwell a while to listen to the birds and look at the flowers. However, this aim can't be achieved without some physical or financial contribution because without a band of dedicated supporters the place will revert to the bramble covered wilderness it was but a few years ago. As Chairman of the Friends Group, I want the whole valley to be brought back to vibrant life and rescued from the choking sedge and brambles which will inevitably consume it once again without  a lot of effort. However, I want those of you who use the park to be able to make suggestions as to the things you would like to see there and indeed, for it to be a garden composed of contributions from its friends and visitors. I would love to think that in the future it is a safe and beautiful place to visit at all times of the year and also to act as a place where both adults and children can learn about the trees and other plants that grow there.  Help the Committee construct a future pathway through the park that reflects the wider perception of what it might become and support those who labour to make it such a charming place to spend some time."
