Dawlish, UK - Home of the Black Swans

Image
South Devon is apparently the English Riviera and indeed, the places in South Devon are such a great sight to behold.   Especially if the weather is great (which is very rare), the beaches along South Devon like in Torquary, Dawlish, and Teignmouth are very crowded with lots of people enjoying the rare British summer. Dawlish is part of the English Riviera and it is known as the "home of the Black Swans."  Indeed, it is easy to spot them swimming along the river just beside the main street of Dawlish.  It ain't that rare here :) The walk from Dawlish Train Station to Dawlish Warren Train station is very beautiful (however, during this time [August 2015], the beach path is still under construction so you can only go thru the road and go down the beach halfway, but it is still very pretty. http://www.englishriviera.co.uk/ http://therivieraline.com/ The Dawlish River and its flora and fauna The Black Swans
