Start emerges from the rolling South Hams landscape as a cluster of quiet stone, caught between the salt-breeze of the coast and the stillness of the inland fields. It lies 4.7 miles east of Kingsbridge (from Kingsbridge: bearing 82°T, OS grid SX 810 450), and is situated west of Slapton village. The land here holds a particular lucidity, where the morning light catches the damp earth of the Slapton Ley SSSI, reflecting a pale, silver shimmer across the reeds. Ancient boundaries define the horizon, marked by the earthen ramparts of the hillfort known as Slapton Castle, which watches over the fields with a silent, grass-grown authority. Start exists in a rhythmic communion with the seasons, its character shaped by the nearby pull of the tides and the long shadows cast by the coastal ridge. Travellers passing through Start may catch the scent of brine mingling with the heavy, sweet fragrance of gorse that thrives in the thickets bordering the nearby lanes. This portion of Devon reveals itself not through grand gestures, but in the subtle interplay of shifting light upon the limestone and the persistent, quiet movement of the natural world.
