Dawlish
Dawlish is an English seaside resort town as well as civil parish in Teignbridge on the south coastline of Devon, 12 miles (19 kilometres) from the county town of Exeter and also the larger resort of Torquay. Its population of 12,345 in 2001 rose to around 16,000 by 2018, and was expected to grow strongly in coming years, as a number of huge housing estates were under construction, primarily in the north and also eastern of the town. It had grown in the 18th century from a little fishing port into a well-known seaside resort, as had its close to neighbor, Teignmouth, in the 19th century. Dawlish lies at the outlet of a little river, Dawlish Water (additionally called The Brook), between Permian red sandstone cliffs, and also is fronted by a sandy coastline with the South Devon Railway sea wall and also the Riviera Line railway over. Behind this is a central public park, The Lawn, whereby Dawlish Water streams. Quickly to the south-west of Dawlish is a headland, Lea Mount, with Boat Cove at its foot and also Coryton Cove, the furthest part of the coastline easily accessible by the seawall course behind it. There is a food stand there. To the north-east, through the coastline or seawall, the coast can be adhered to for some 2 kilometres to Langstone Rock as well as the hotel of Dawlish Warren past. Dawlish is additionally understood for its black swans (Cygnus atratus), introduced from Western Australia, which deal with other exotic waterfowl in a tiny metropolitan refuge on Dawlish Water. There are a number of attractions in and around the community, such as beaches, safari mini-golf, a waterfowl centre, a leisure centre with a swimming pool, a countryside park, as well as the Dawlish Museum.
