Dawlish

Dawlish is a delightful little seaside town on the North East coast of Devon. It is one place I've visited what seems like every year since the dawn of time, but I haven't really. My first memories are with my dad and older sister going there on a day coach trip every year during the Summer holidays. The beach itself is pretty shingly, but the nearby Dawlish Warren is mainly sandy. It's a great train trip either stopping or going along the sea wall at Dawlish despite the occasional rock falls that have happened in recent years, and I love sitting on the beach and watching the trains going past in and out of the tunnels from or to ...  Read the complete review

Dawlish in South Devon is a smallish town with many hidden surprises. There is a railway station that overlooks the main recreational area, & trains can be seen from the street passing the bridge on the way to Teignmouth & beyond. Dawlish seafront is quite charming with a long wall going out to sea, which people can stroll along. The sea barriers with the red lobster pots are still there, & you get take boats trips to starcross 7 round the bay, but to Dawlish. In the centre of Dawlish is a park that has a small river or stream running through the middle, with lights hung across the water which are quite pretty when lit at night. There are benches to sit down ...  Read the complete review

I've been going to Devon for the last five years and i'm totally in love with the place,particually a little place called Dawlish. Iwas told about this place by my family,and now I look forward to going back at least once a year. Now it's not the best place in the world but it's ideal for a quiet holiday. Also it's handy for visiting places like Torquay, Exeter, Newton Abbot or Paignton. There's a lovely beach for the little ones or a coastal path for the older ones who enjoy walking. In the town centre there's a river running through and down to the sea, on the river there are Black swans and many different types of ...  Read the complete review

From the age of 6 to 14 I visited the holiday village of Dawlish Warren every summer on an annual family holiday. We stayed in a variety of places each year and always had something different to explore. In the early eighties, we stayed at "Warren Holiday Centres", which is a large site off the main road. It has a yellow smiley face character, which, as soon as you see this from the road, puts you in a good frame of mind straight away! Each year, we stayed in a different type of accomodation, preferring the chalet-style bungalow self-catering option. The site is well catered for families, has entertainment at night, a park and a wildlife area for ...  Read the complete review
