Route: Exeter to Dawlish
Duration: 11 to 30 minutes
When you see the waves crashing up to the tracks, it's not surprising to learn that the route was destroyed by a coastal storm in 2014. It's been rebuilt and runs along the River Exe — look out for otters, egrets, and seals on the sandbanks and estuary — finishing up by the sea in a quaint seaside town in Devon.
