My Dad and I have days out in Dawlish as often as we can. We call it Doglish because everyone seems to be walking Dogs. Thank you for this wonderful video.
Doglish!
I like that!
Have driven through Porlock many times but never stopped. Having just seen this vlog a walk round is now a must next year. Thanks fir showing me what I've been missing
This is another great walk around the Devon area in Dawlish
right next to the ocean with a very beautiful beach area of course
i really enjoy these seaside towns and villages, i liked seeing the
nice cafe and other places in the town until next time thank you.
🇬🇧🤠🇬🇧
Been coming here from Leicester camping at ladies mile down the road near the warren every year of my life with my grandad and grandma for 28 years i adore this area id go no where else in the uk personally we still do it to this day . There in there 80s now and il be coming here for the rest of my life at least one a year❤
Thanks for these videos, they show off these towns better than anything else I've seen. Also, great motion tracking job
My nephew lived just across the road from beach. They were so lucky. Really lovely place. Thanks again
Love Dawlish last time we went a couple of years ago they were working on underpass and could go to beach from there good its finished yes they are the black swans
my Favourite perfume Devon Violets alway bought a bottle on Holiday
I feel extremely lucky to call this place my home,which has been in my family’s history for a long time . I regularly sit at the cove and have a coffee at Ian’s cafe. The winches in Boat cove are over 180 years old & they used to haul the yachts in . I regularly film trains along the kings walk for my UA-cam channel shorts .The new stilling basin by the palisade viaduct is unfortunately a place for tourists to feed the gulls their lunch,making them aggressive to anyone trying to eat a snack.The two Black adult swans who you first came along , are called “Bert & kimba” and have raised many youngsters.its a shame that you missed the old mill tearooms, which are on the left hand side of the strand , which is on the same side as the Famous “Gays Creamery “ and its clotted cream teas and ice cream . We have many event on the lawn by the bandstand & every year our carnival events are ran from it, bringing in thousands.Glad you enjoyed your time visiting and got some good coverage !
I’m in love with your home I’ve come here camping at ladies mile for every year of my life with my grandparents . I’m 28 now It holds a huge place in my heart with memories with them il cherish’ just been last week with them ! I have a feeling not many more opportunities left . I wana live here so bad! Leicester is a dump! 😂
They are Black Swans which are native to Australia....now swimming in ponds all around the world 😊
Black and white building was woolworths.On the band satand in 2000 mates told me a band were playing free but i couldnt be bothered to go down town ...the band i later found out were muse
No way!
Oh my word that would have been something!
I was there yesterday haha!! absolutely stunning. maybe i'll run into you one of these days 😂
😎
I live in Devon and this stank of sewage last year.
People feeding chips to seaguls in the stream , no wonder they attack people eating them .
True
Dawlish is a beautiful place for a holiday or a day out and go and see the black swans and the ducks and the goose and also the seagulls round for food and the station is a lot better now and you can walk round or under and walk round the shops cafes as well as a bus ride to Paignton and Brixham and torquay thanks Neil
Just when i think you have covered all the towns and villages in Devon you come up with another one, Devon must cover a very large area, plus you are filling up my bucket list fast, not complaining, thanks for all you show us it's great, i think you should class your self more as a travel channel than just a youtuber.
lovely place is Dawlish 🕊not far from Newton Abbot a short costal bus ride or the Train❤
Beautiful Dawlish ❤ thanks for the tour. Its been about 15 years since we went so it was lovely to see it all, including the black swans😅
Absolutely love Dawlish. Great place to People watch aswell as seeing the Famous Black swans.
Paddington station to Dawlish railway station three hours and 25 minutes
🔥🔥🔥
Yes Dawlush is fantastic place, despite the workmen that have been working tirelessly for the last 10 years or so, been following them on UA-cam replacing the flood defence walls and now ensuring safety of the cliffs to the railway below. But if course I always follow you and Devon ,Cornwall, Dorset favourite places, hope you will do Somerset that is lovely too!
Never been 😔
We've just come back from Dawlish! (Almost) second home.
And yes they were indeed black swans 😆
I have photos of myself outside the amusement arcade in the late 70’s. Great holidays there. Thanks for bringing back the memories
Thank you l enjoyed seeing Dawlish. I loved the black swans. I love places with independent shops and cafe's and places that retain buildings with character. I liked the Co op building too.
So many hight streets have been blighted with 60's built ugly buildings.
Loved the river area.
Thank you Neil, my home from home, and yes they are the Black Swans ! lol
