Dawlish in South Devon, home to great beaches - and just along from the Jurassic Coast; and home to Oakcliff Holiday Park

Oakcliff Holiday Park is a collection of lodges and caravans in Dawlish, South Devon

Published: 15 November 2016



Dawlish is very much a traditional seaside town, becoming popular with the arrival of the railways. Initially a small fishing town, Dawlish was a popular location literary figures such as Charles Dickens and Jane Austen.

Anyway, that was all a long time ago, nowadays Dawlish is still a popular location to spend a few days. There are plenty of things for you and the family to do in Dawlish: there's that long sandy beach - an ideal place to spend a summer day with a bucket and spade. Or take a look round one of the rock-pools, and see what local wildlife you can find.

Dawlish has a host of eateries to discover on your holiday, with all the fish and chip shops you would wish for.

I mentioned at the start that Dawlish really came alive with the railway, well the railway is still here, and is regarded by many in the know as one of the most scenic in Britain. The line runs along the coast under the red brown cliffs just a few metres from the sea (you may recall the railway on the news during those high-tides and storms of 2012, when the line was washed away - don't panic, it's all back now), and through tunnels and coves.

During your holiday in South Devon, you can also walk along the Jurassic Coast, and take in some of England's scenery.

All this being said, you may well want to visit South Devon, and be looking for somewhere to stay. "Oakcliff Holiday Park" is a lovely quiet holiday park on the coast, just a mile from Dawlish.
