Dawlish holds a central position
on the South Devon Mainline
railway, a part of the Great
Western Mainline designed by
Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
The addition of the railway
transformed Dawlish, attracting
more visitors to appreciate its
appealing architecture as well
as the golden sandy beach.
For enthusiasts of
walking and cycling,
Dawlish serves as a
gateway to the Exe
Estuary Trail, a 16-mile
cycling route linking
Dawlish Warren to
Exmouth through the city
of Exeter.
Positioned along the
South West Coast Path,
Dawlish offers choices to
explore Dawlish Warren
and Starcross to the
east, or Teignmouth and
Torbay to the west,
ensuring breath-taking
coastal scenery for both
walkers and cyclists.
