Why is Dawlish Warren S o Tacky?
Can anyone explain why Dawlish Warren has such a tacky reputation? With such a beautiful area, why is it spoilt with so many tacky pubs and camps?
As somebody explained on an earlier thread, "it's certainly not upmarket".
It seems the Warren is a prime example of the junk culture that is spreading throughout this country of ours. Not that the owners of these places care ......as long as they make money.
Yet the Warren is constantly on Westcountry news as an example of 'great' British resorts! Who are they kidding!
You could well say the same for Dawlish which seems completely trapped in a time warp. It is quite shocking to travel just 20mins from Exeter and find yourself stepping back 30 years. It is not quaint, its just tat. Most shops and pubs awful, and have you seen the 'restaurants'!
Its a great shame as the town should have so much potential. The town is run by those with a vested interest in tourism which contrary to popular belief, has seriously limited investment in the town, and constrained its development.
Well done to Baileys though for recently making the effort though doubtless 'Dawlish lovers' will boycott it as its not in keeping with the surroundings. I'd have to agree!
