The Langstone Cliff hotel is a popular destination for
bird watching groups. It is conveniently located for the
Dawlish Warren Nature reserve with its vast population
waders and wildfowl. There is a public footpath leading
from the hotel grounds down to the beach and the nature
reserve at Dawlish Warren
A local nature reserve and Site of Special Scientific Interest
(SSSI), Dawlish
Warren is a sand spit across
the mouth of the Exe Estuary. On one side of the sand spit
is a popular tourist beach and on the other inter tidal
mud flats.
The mud flats provide vital feeding areas for internationally
important populations of many waders and wildfowl, so
the site is extremely popular with bird watchers. A purpose-built
hide overlooks the main high tide roost.
The Exe Estuary, including Dawlish Warren, is a wetland
of international importance under the RAMSAR Convention
