Smoke Alarm in Dawlish

Dawlish

Dawlish is an English seaside resort community as well as civil parish in Teignbridge on the south coast of Devon, 12 miles (19 km) 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 expand strongly in coming years, as a number of big housing estates were under construction, primarily in the north and east of the town. It had expanded in the 18th century from a tiny angling port into a widely known seaside resort, as had its close to neighbor, Teignmouth, in the 19th century. Dawlish lies at the electrical outlet of a small river, Dawlish Water (additionally called The Brook), between Permian red sandstone high cliffs, and is fronted by a sandy coastline with the South Devon Railway sea wall as well as the Riviera Line train above. Behind this is a main public park, The Lawn, whereby Dawlish Water flows. Promptly to the south-west of Dawlish is a headland, Lea Mount, with Boat Cove at its foot and also Coryton Cove, the outermost part of the beach easily accessible by the seawall course behind it. There is a food booth there. To the north-east, using the beach or seawall, the coast can be followed for some 2 km 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 various other exotic waterfowl in a small metropolitan refuge on Dawlish Water. There are a number of tourist attractions around the town, such as beaches, safari mini-golf, a waterfowl centre, a recreation centre with a swimming pool, a countryside park, and the Dawlish Museum.
