Dawlish Sea Wall
Description
One of Brunel's most impressive achievements was to build the railway line between the cliffs and sea along the coast at Dawlish. Its subsequently proved to be the weak link in the South West's rail network with the whole area being cut off from the national network for two months when the tracks, and path, were washed away in February 2014. Alongside the tracks from Dawlish Warren all the way to Dawlish a path offers amazing views of both the railway and the sea, along with a pleasant and easy walk.
