Dawlish is famous for being the home of the Black Swans.  There are records of Black Swans being on The Brook in the early Twentieth Century but between the two World Wars, they died out.  In the late 1940s, Captain GRS Pitman, a game warden in Uganda, presented a pair of Black Swans to the Town of Dawlish in memory of his parents.  Black Swans have lived on The Brook ever since and have been the emblem of the town for more than 50 years.

Oakcliff Holiday Park are delighted to sponsor the Black Swan Cams, so that we and our friends across the country (and world) can catch up on these unique creatures.
