2. Dawlish Warren Beach

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.

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.

Nice walk after a dinner brunch nearby per the title we have always said let’s walk on the sand dunes. Pleasant enough on a sunny warm day plenty to note from the views across the estuary plus the wildlife that habitat this area we noted several bird watchers here with the big telephoto lens pointing to the marsh lands. Possibly the best time to do this could be mid afternoon when the sun gets over into the western side of Dawlish Warren.

Wonderful place we stopped in Dawlish Warren and the walk into Dawlish takes about 45 minutes and the path is between the sea and the railway line. There are lots of little shops and cafes and pubs in Dawlish. In the Warren there are several pubs and a nature reserve there is also a little funfair and a couple of shops and an arcade. The beach is sandy and slopes to the sea the views are lovely across the estuary to Exmouth.
7. Dawlish Town Trail
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 97 reviews
This South West Coast Path walk starts and ends at Dawlish Railway Station and takes in both the development of Dawlish since the 1800s as well as the attractive Old Town. The route is generally flat and undemanding along pavements or tarmac footpaths. Where there are no pavements, any roads walked on are quiet and usually traffic free.

Lots of little shops , small eateries and tea shops for the cream tea !!! Gays creamery is a must see and the old water mill tea house You can’t miss the black swans in the village , they are used to being fed !! Beach lies at the bottom of the trail Great for walking the dog (out of season)
