ninalanyon Lovely scenes! Brings back memories, as when I was young our family hired a caravan for a week, somewhere between Dawlish and Dawlish Warren.
I don't recollect walking around Dawlish itself, but I would have been too young to appreciate such jaunts. (Probably about 8 or 10.) We did though takes walks along the sea-wall.
At the time of the storm than interrupted the railway, talk was raised about rebuilding a closed alternative route inland to allow detours when the main line is unusable. Apparently much of the route is still intact. I don't know where it runs though looking at a map suggests Okehampton to Tavistock. As far as I know it never progressed further, probably for cost reasons.
