A lovely tidal harbour fronts this little village on the Western bank of the Exe Estuary just north of Dawlish Warren. It is a popular boating spot with church, pubs, local shops, and accommodation. Starcross is a small riverside town on the west bank of the estuary of the River Exe in Devon near Cockwood. The town is popular in summer with leisure craft. A small passenger ferry operates across the River Exe to Exmouth. A notable feature of Starcross is the Italianate pumping engine house, the best surviving building from Brunel's unsuccessful Atmospheric Railway. The enterprise is commemorated in the Atmospheric Railway pub located opposite the present-day railway station. SCO 0970
