To the north of Dawlish, is Dawlish Warren - a sandy spit that extends for two miles into the mouth of the Exe estuary. The beach has a gentle slope down to the sea, providing a perfect spot for bathing in a safe environment.
Perfect for family days at the beach, Dawlish Warren has all the amenities and entertainment's that you need for that perfect seaside holiday. Families can relax as the children play and have fun in the water, as Dawlish Warren is supervised by a team of experienced lifeguards. Throughout the summer months, there is a programme of entertainment's for the children, with slap stick comedy, concerts and children's parties. The adults can indulge themselves in the pursuit of that elusive bargain at the weekly open air market. The Warren itself is a wealth of opportunities for the rambler. Situated on the coastal path, it stretches from the towns of Dawlish and Teignmouth in the west along the coast to the Exe estuary towards East Devon, Exeter and the grounds of Powderham Castle. Powderham castle is the location of the main Exe estuary heronry, with a growing population of Little Egrets sharing the roost. The Tall trees in the grounds of the castle and in the surrounding countryside are believed to act as temporary perches for Ospreys who use the area as a staging post on their seasonal migration. |
