Dawlish to Dawlish Warren

It was a sunny January day.  I wanted to go shopping in Newton Abbott, but the weather was too good to spend all day indoors, so we decided to catch the train to Dawlish and have a walk along the South West Coast Path to Dawlish Warren before catching the train back to Newton Abbott for shopping.

There were stones and sand on the path showing the sea had been over the sea wall in the recent storm but today we could walk along in the dry, admiring the calm sea on one side and the trains going along on the other side.  The views were beautiful as we looked down the Jurrassic coast.

The cliffs were red as vegetation has slipped recently.  Men were working on one section and another part looked precarious with water flowing down the cliff.  There were some interesting shapes in the cliff face where earth had been worn away.

It was a bright sunny day so we decided to  take the train to Dawlish and walk along the sea front to Dawlish Warren.

We started by walking up the town to buy pasties to eat for lunch.  The black swans were swimming in the river that flows down the centre of the town.

The walk along the beach was very pleasant as the sun shone, although there was a mist in the distance so you couldn't see too far in the distant.
