Welcome to Slapton in Devon
Slapton is a Civil Parish under the South Hams District Council and Devon County Council
The Parish of Slapton is a delightful, rural, coastal Parish comprising the village of Slapton, hamlets of Start and Hansel and many rural farms. It is located in the South Hams, Devon within a National Landscape (area of outstanding natural beauty). Just over 400 people live in the Parish as permanent residents. Slapton village is located a quarter of a mile inland from Start Bay, famous for Operation Tiger and a series of landing exercises carried out on Slapton Sands prior to the D-Day landings in June 1944. The village lies within a conservation area with thatched cottages, leets and narrow windy streets around St James the Great Church, which was dedicated to St James in 1318. The village and wider Parish are steeped in history dating back to the late 13th and early 14th Century. Slapton village has 2 pubs, a community shop, a village hall, 2 churches, several campsites, a defibrillator, a working BT phone box, a recreation field, a playground, a community nature field and it is home to the Field Studies Council's Slapton Ley field centre. There is also a network of Parish footpaths and a bridleway to explore (including through Slapton Ley National Nature Reserve).
