As it's Scarecrow Week, you could ask them to help judge the winner. As in previous years, scarecrows will appear around the town on shops and pubs etc and residents and holiday makers will choose the ...

The colourful leaflet is a guide to all of the recreational activities available on the Estuary and where to find the clubs and organisations who can give advice and help local residents and visitors get the most out of the ...
For those of you who love Dawlish and it's neighbouring hamlets, but live away from the area, you could always take a look through the two webcams that are available on-line: Dawlish Warren webcam is at http://www.dawlishwarren.info/webcam.htm Starcross webcam is at: http://www.starcross-fcc.com/webcam/
