Dawlish is a laidback seaside town in South Devon. This town is perhaps best known for being home to black swans. The Brook in The Lawn is where you’ll be able to witness these striking birds. The Brook is a small stream that flows through The Lawn, a beautiful green space located in the heart of the town. Dawlish Museum is worth a visit if you want to know more about this town’s history. Furthermore, Dawlish Warren Beach is popular with families looking to enjoy a day in the sun. And if you enjoy nature, then Dawlish Warren Nature Reserve is an excellent spot for birdwatching.
