Hi all and thanks for your replies.  Food  for thought...   Deedoodle:  are you able to advise then on the best parts of Dawlish to live or areas to avoid in your opinion.  Many thanks and take care.

Hi Duckileaks,  thanks for the encouragement and advice I will have to organise a trip down there to have a look around.  Went down to Sidmouth and Seaton in April but somehow they didn't feel right.  Didn't have enough tme to do any more. Just been looking at videos of waves going over the trains.  Looks interesting!

Thanks for your reply leatash Are there plenty of things to get involved in, clubs, societies etc. especially in the winter months?  I see from reports that Torquay has really gone down hill over the last couple of decades.  Don't know how true this is as haven't been there for many years.  Hopefully the same hasn't happened to Dawlish?  Orla.

Hi everyone, just found this forum.  I'm thinking of moving to Dawlish or area from the midlands to be near the sea,in order to settle down and integrate in order to prepare for retirement in 6 plus years or so.  What's it like living the area and are folk friendly towards newcomers?  Thanks,Orla.
