8. Dawlish Warren Beach
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,412 reviews
Reviewed By castle1_10 - Leeds, United Kingdom
Ever since I can remember taking holidays at Dawlish Warren and the surrounding area the beach is Sandy very clean and in some cases weather wind dependant sheltered by the sea wall or the rock outcrop at Langstone. Popular beach and sea wall walk to Dawlish around 20 minutes stroll. Warren end shops cafe bar pub toilets and gaming arcade plus speedway all very popular as well. Car parking here can I’d say be a bit of a Devon council cash cow the price of parking that is .... but if your fortune is in luck there may be the odd free space to the left of the fish shop up the station approach room for around six cars.
9. Dawlish Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 67 reviews
With 11 rooms over 3 floors the museum is most famous for its display of Piper Bill Millins D-Day bagpipes. The displays in Dawlish Museum are regularly updated and depict life past and present in the town and notably tell the story of the February storm of 2014 which severely damaged the railway line. A vast archive of 100's of rare historical photographs can be seen in both album form or on the new library P.C. Children as well as adults are well catered for and there are many fun activities for them to do such as the dressing up outfits and the Black Swan Trail. The Museum is entirely run by volunteers, is self funding and recently proudly gained official accreditation. A DVD of the Great Storm is now available to buy and a rolling preview can be seen in the Great Storm display room.

Well worth a visit if you are in the area, a lot of history is held here all about Dawlish, history from years back up to date when the storms brought the railway to a standstill. Visit and enjoy, a room dedicated to a Dawlish hero Piper Bill Millins really great.
