  • Dawlish to Dawlish Warren
    South West Coast Path Dawlish to Dawlish Warren Newton Abbot TIC: 01626 215667 Dawlish TIC: 01626 215665 Distance: 1 & ¼ Miles Difficulty: OS Maps: Landranger- 192 / Explorer- 44 ●●○○○ The first part of this walk is along the sea wall (no cycling) above the beach and adjacent to the busy Great Western railway line. This flat path takes you into Dawlish Warren, past the Red Rock Cafe. This part is 1½ miles, however walking up to the very end of the Warren and back again is approximately another 2 miles. There are excellent views all around the coast from here, plenty of places for refreshments at the Beach Resort and the interesting Dawlish Warren National Nature Reserve with its visitors centre. The Walk This walk starts on the sea wall near the railway station. Access is under the low railway bridge at the end of Dawlish Water. From here, turn left (when facing the sea), along the sea wall to Dawlish Warren. This is a mostly flat and easy walk. There are excellent views of the coast from the Ore Stone, near Torquay to the south, and towards Beer and Portland in the east. If the weather is extreme and there are high seas you may need to divert inland. There is a footbridge over the railway line from the seawall just past the railway station that brings you out onto the main Exeter road. Carry on along the road, and there is soon a sign back over the railway line to re-join the sea wall. If it is low tide and you don't want to walk next to the busy railway line it is possible to walk along the beach.

    F The River Otter Beaver Trial: Natural England’s assessment of the trial and advice on the future of the beaver population (NEER018) First Edition May 2020 www.gov.uk/natural-england Natural England Evidence Review 018 1 Project details Citation It is recommended that this report should be cited as: Howe, C. V. and Crutchley, S. E. (2020) The River Otter Beaver Trial: Natural England’s assessment of the trial and advice on the future of the beaver population. Natural England Evidence Review NEER018. Peterborough: Natural England. Acknowledgements Particular thanks are due to Natural England colleagues Pete Brotherton, Andy Brown, Hazel Carter and Matt Heydon for their detailed, constructive comments and suggestions which greatly improved the report. In addition, we are grateful for helpful comments and advice for the main body of the report from colleagues in the Environment Agency’s Head Office and Devon, Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Area. We also thank the following Natural England staff for their input through discussion and/or provision of advice, information and support: Jon Curson, Julie Eaton, David Heaver, Dave Ottewell, Eva Scholz, Mel Sherwood, Alison Slade, Ian Taylor and Giles Wagstaff; Roger Auster, Richard Brazier, Hugh Graham and Alan Puttock of Exeter University; Ben Ross of NatureScot, and Mark Elliott of Devon Wildlife Trust. Natural England Evidence Review 018 2 Executive summary The European Beaver Castor fiber was once widespread across Europe and northern Asia. It became extinct in England around the 16th century due to overhunting for its meat and fur. Beavers are ecosystem engineers and, as a keystone species, are able to restore wetland ecosystems and produce a network of environmentally enriched riparian habitats.

  • Chairman's Message
    2011 No. 1 February Reg. Charity No.228966 CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE It is with regret that I have to announce that two of our long standing volunteers have resigned. Peter Reay and Ian Farrell between them have served the Society for over twenty-five years. Peter has been editing the Devon Bird Report from 1999 and wrote a section prior to that year. His keenness to ensure accuracy with each report is a testament to him. I worked closely with Peter for six years whilst County Recorder and I know the loss of his service to the Society will be greatly missed. Ian, will be known to members in recent years as our webmaster a job which he performs with enthusiasm and dedication. I first met Ian when acting as legal advisor to the Society on the wording of its new constitution when I first noticed his commitment, business acumen and a keenness to get the job done, a style he showed throughout his service as a trustee on Council, as Chairman of the Publishing Group and right up to present as Vice Chairman. On behalf of the Society I would like to thank both Peter and Ian for their service to the Society and wish them the very best for the future. Whilst Chairman I have set myself various tasks, last year it was the completion of the Birds of Devon book and ensuring the preparation of the Devon Tetrad Atlas was on a sound footing, both thankfully were achieved. This year my task is probably more difficult in that I will attempt to find volunteers to fill vacancies on Council and other posts that are vacant.
