Dawlish

For a fun-filled, happy holiday in a traditional English seaside town, then look no further than Dawlish! The town is situated on Dawlish Water (known locally as The Brook). There are lots of terrific little shops, tearooms, fish and chip takeaways, restaurants and local pubs to enjoy. The central public park area called The Lawn is filled with flowers and plants and the Brook; simply perfect for a picnic! Here you will see the town’s famous black swans. Dawlish has a golden sandy beach, perfect for paddling, rock pooling and making sandcastles. Hop on a boat trip, enjoy some watersports or try a spot of fishing. The South Devon railway line runs through the town, offering one of the most scenic railway journeys in England, from Exeter to Newton Abbot. If you follow the South West Coast Path, you will reach Dawlish Warren with its beach, sand dunes and nature reserve. There are activities for the whole family including mini-golf, go-karting, fun rides for the kids and a full 18-hole golf course.
