Everything about Starcross totally explained
» For other uses of the term, see Star-crossed (disambiguation). For the Phillip Reeve novel, see Starcross (novel).
Starcross is a riverside village with a population of approximately 2000, situated on the west bank of the
estuary of the
River Exe in
Devon,
England. The village is popular in summer with leisure craft, and is home to one of the UK's oldest sailing clubs. The
Starcross to Exmouth Ferry, 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. Note that the Brunel pumphouse now houses the Starcross Fishing and Cruising Club rather than a museum dedicated to the atmospheric railway, as quoted in many guide books.
