Slapton Village nestles in the countryside behind Slapton Sands, a pretty village with 2 pubs and village shop. There are plenty of walks from here, some incorporating Slapton Ley Nature Reserve, this freshwater lake is home to many varieties of birds. The local beach to here is Slapton Sands, a 3 mile stretch of beach with the village of Torcross at the far end. Torcross has a small selection of shops and places to eat, including The Start Bay Inn which is exceedingly well-known locally for freshly caught fish. Allied Troops practiced the D Day landings on Slapton Sands and in the car park at Torcross there is a Sherman tank that was recovered from the sea and is now a memorial to the ill-fated Exercise Tiger.
