Celebrations as new 'wild' park due to open in Dawlish

A huge new countryside park on the outskirts of Dawlish opens today - with a range of free family activities.

The park, the size of 26 rugby pitches, has been created by local authorities working together - they hope it'll reduce the number of visitors to Dawlish Warren, the Exe Estuary and Pebblebed Heaths, protecting those conservation sites.

It opens today with a range of free family activities and a display of archaeological discoveries made at the site, which include coins, pottery and flints.

It was supposed to open yesterday, but it was postponed because of the poor weather conditions.
