Slapton Devon Map

About Slapton

Slapton rests in the gentle embrace of Devon's South Hams, a landscape where ancient lanes wind through fields that glow with a soft, pastoral light. It lies 8.5 km east of Kingsbridge (from Kingsbridge: bearing 83°T, OS grid SX 819 449), and is situated north-north-east of Stokenham village. The village's heart beats around its broad green, a space where the murmur of conversation mingles with the distant bleating of sheep, a sound as old as the surrounding hills. Slapton Ley, a unique freshwater lake separated from the sea by a shingle ridge, offers a haven for a rich diversity of birdlife, its waters reflecting the ever-changing moods of the Devon sky. The air here carries the scent of damp earth and sea salt, a constant reminder of its proximity to the wild Atlantic coast. Though its origins are lost to the mists of time, Slapton endures as a place of quiet continuity, its stone cottages and ancient church a testament to generations who have called this corner of England home.
