Dawlish railway station is on the Exeter to Plymouth line and serves the seaside resort town of Dawlish in Devon, England. It is located 206 miles 7 chains (331.7 km) from London Paddington, via Box.The station is built on the sea wall, as is the railway line, and has often suffered from storm damage due its proximity to the sea. South of the station, the railway passes through five tunnels in the cliffs as it follows the coastline.

Dawlish is an English seaside resort town and civil parish in Teignbridge on the south coast of Devon; it is located 12 miles (19 km) from the county town of Exeter and from the larger resort of Torquay. Its 2011 population of 11,312 was estimated to have risen to 13,355 by 2019. It is to grow further as several housing estates are under construction, mainly in the north and east of the town. It had grown in the 18th century from a small fishing port into a well-known seaside resort, as had its near neighbour, Teignmouth, in the 19th century. Between Easter and October, the population can swell by an additional 20,000, largely in self-accommodation, caravan, camping and holiday parks (mostly in neighbouring Dawlish Warren).

Dawlish Water is a minor coastal stream which flows through Devon, England.Dawlish Water, also known as “The Brook”, rises on the eastern slopes of Haldon Forest in the Haldon Hills by the A380 road and the B3192, (largely heathland and conifer forest), in the Mamhead Obelisk plantation and then flows southeast through Ashcombe, Dawlish Water (Hamlet) and on to Dawlish town, flowing over a series of weirs, then through the centre of the town, under the A379 road and the London-Penzance railway line, by Dawlish railway station, before terminating in the English Channel. The urban part of Dawlish Water is prone to flooding in certain situations, particularly with winds between south and east, when moisture-laden air is forced up the slopes of Haldon Hill, where it then condenses and precipitates. It is a relatively quick-response watercourse, so is susceptible to intense rainstorms, however river levels tend to fall fairly swiftly afterwards.Dawlish Water has 15 minor tributaries, coming off Luscombe Hill and the hill by the Langdon Plantation. The only major tributary is Brown’s Brook, which is approximately 3km long and comes from Lidwell Chapel, in turn located on Little Haldon. Water quality is sometimes affected after heavy rainfall due to upstream farm effluent, and combined sewer outfalls in the river as it passes through the town. This in turn can affect the bathing water quality on the beach immediately next to the river, after heavy rain. Several initiatives have improved the situation recently, with the EA liaising with local farmers and water companies to improve water quality. The water level of the stream has been measured in Dawlish since 2012, normal levels are between 0.12 metres (4.7 in) and 0.33 metres (1 ft 1 in). The maximum recorded level was 1.32 metres (4 ft 4 in) in November 2012. The mouth of the river was redesigned in the 2019-onwards works on the Dawlish Sea Wall. It has now been surrounded by a 2m high concrete wall, designed to concentrate the flow of the river at the discharge point to reduce erosion of the surrounding rock and structures, such as the stone groyne, in place to stop Longshore drift at the site.

A footpath runs alongside the railway between Dawlish Warren and Dawlish, then another footpath forms a continuation to the sea front promenade at Teignmouth. Both of these form part of the South West Coast Path. The South Devon Railway was built to the designs of Isambard Kingdom Brunel; it takes a route from Exeter which follows the River Exe to Dawlish Warren, runs beneath the sea cliffs to Teignmouth and then follows the River Teign to Newton Abbot. It follows tidal waters for about 13 miles, 4 of which are open sea.
