Dawlish Warren Beach

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.

Dawlish Warren Nature Reserve

Reviewed By castle1_10 - Leeds, United Kingdom

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.

Dawlish and Dawlish Warren

Reviewed By jaygee59 - Nottingham, United Kingdom

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.

Dawlish Town Trail

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.

We were a family of 6 2 teenagers , mum & dad and 2 grandmas This is a lovely little place for the family to have a gentle wander around for a couple of hours. 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)

The White Hart Pub Dawlish

Our friends from all over the world have journeyed through the Devon countryside to discover the quaint charm that lies behind the doors at The White Hart in Dawlish. The setting is just like you have been invited to a 19th century rural Devon home, with a good old-fashioned welcome the moment you come through the doors. “There are no strangers here, only people who have not yet met”

Very friendly warm atmosphere,excellent well kept real ale and ciders. Ideal for a quiet pint or educated chat with locals.Excellent set back location but very close to a supermarket, Chinese take away and launderette. Lovely staff and Martin is a great host despite not working for the excellent team. Definitely a secret but well respected quiet treasure.

I went with a mate and brought 20 tokens for 20 pounds. Played 2 games of mini golf and a couple rides on the boat ride. Definitely aimed at little children but we still had fun. Had two races on the go karts switch cost a little extra but was worth it. Over all fun experience. It is in a good location and got to eat fish and chips on the beach after the fun was done
