Small town in Devon on the west side of the Exe opposite Exmouth. Nice
beach at Dawlish Warren.
There I bet you opened this article expecting something else, naughty,
naughty .... :-)

You missed out the bit about the railway line running alongside the sea,
Will.
A little story about it. The wife and I were on honeymoon (over 40 years
ago, now). We were going to be camping and had driven down over night.
At about 3am I parked at Dawlish Warren to show her the beach area at
night. We crossed over the railway bridge (apparently she did not notice
the railway) we then sat on the wall alongside the track. I noticed a
night express but the wife didn't; not till it passed us, that is. :-)
That gave married life a good start. ;-)
