Dawlish
Dawlish is a town and civil parish in Teignbridge on the south coast of Devon in England, 12 miles (19 km) from the county town of Exeter. It had a permanent resident population of 12819 at the time of the 2001 Census, which lessened to 11312 at the 2011 census. During the 18th century, it grew from a modest fishing port to come to be a well-known seaside resort. Dawlish is situated at the outlet of a small river, Dawlish Water, amongst Permian red sandstone cliffs, and is fronted by a sandy beach with the South Devon Railway sea wall and the Riviera Line railway above. Behind this is a central public park, The Lawn, through which Dawlish Water flows. Immediately to the south-west of Dawlish is a headland, Lea Mount, with Boat Cove at its foot and Coryton Cove, the furthest part of the beach accessed by the seawall course, behind it. To the north-east, via the beach or seawall, the coast can be followed some 2 km to Langstone Rock and the resort of Dawlish Warren beyond, although this track is blocked at extreme high water. Dawlish is also recognized for its black swans (Cygnus atratus), introduced from Western Australia, which live with other unusual waterfowl in a small urban sanctuary on Dawlish Water. Dawlish train station is positioned in the town centre near the beach. It is served by trains to most stations in Devon, and to London and even more afield. The line is noted as one of the most remarkable stretches of track in Britain for its natural aesthetics.
