Dawlish - 9th April 2022

​

Picture
The the latest phase of the Dawlish Sea Wall project now open to the public I visited the Coastguards section on the 9th April 2022 to take a look at the latest section of sea defence works to be opened. The link between Dawlish Town Centre and Coastguards was still closed with a footpath diversion via Exeter Road to Coastguards. Views taken include the newly opened public area at Coastguards and feature the current platform works which were ongoing at the time of my visit.
