The village of Starcross sits on the eastern shore of the Exe Estuary in Teignbridge, Devon, England, looking across the water towards Exmouth. Its low-lying estuary setting gives it extensive mudflats and saltmarsh that are important for migratory birds, and the shoreline, ferry crossing to Exmouth and the nearby long-distance walking routes make it popular with walkers, birdwatchers and small-boat sailors.
Once a modest fishing and boatbuilding community, Starcross retains a strong maritime feel while its economy now mixes tourism and leisure boating with residents who commute by rail on the Riviera Line into Exeter. The village centre has the sort of local amenities you’d expect - a station, pubs and a village hall - and a friendly, community-focused atmosphere grounded in its coastal and Victorian railway-era character.
