The beach at Dawlish Warren

Book Tickets Online

The Visitor Centre has a range of displays which tell you more about Dawlish Warren. You can also buy books about the Warren and its wildlife.

A bird watching hide is situated about a mile north-east of the Visitor Centre. This has open access and provides excellent viewing for wading birds and wildfowl in winter. Viewing is best 2 hours either side of medium high tides. Maps on site show the location of the hide. There is no public access to the Golf Course, mudflats or saltmarsh.

Toilets are situated near the 'entrance tunnel' and in the resort area only. Sorry, there are no toilet facilities at the Visitor Centre.

From early April to the end of September the Visitor Centre (free entry) is open most days from 10.30am - 1.00pm and 2.00pm - 5pm. However, it is occasionally closed when in use for groups or when the Wardens are working on site. In winter the Centre is usually open for the same hours, but at weekends only.
