About

Dawlish South West ward encompasses the western part of the coastal town of Dawlish, stretching from the town centre towards the neighbouring area of Holcombe. The ward is defined by its proximity to the English Channel, with the main railway line and sea wall forming a prominent coastal corridor. Residential streets characterise much of the area, providing housing in a mix of traditional terraces and more modern developments.

The ward includes the section of the famous sea wall promenade where the mainline railway runs immediately alongside the beach, with trains passing just metres from the shoreline. Inland, the topography rises gently, with local amenities and community facilities serving the resident population. The area's layout is heavily influenced by its position between the coastline and the rolling hills to the west.
