Start Devon Map

About Start

Start, a quiet hamlet in Devon, whispers of its ancient moorland heritage. It lies 7.6 km east of Kingsbridge (from Kingsbridge: bearing 82°T, OS grid SX 810 450), and is situated west of Slapton village. The air here, even inland, carries a faint tang of salt, a reminder of the proximity to the restless English Channel, and the light often falls in soft, diffused swathes across the gently rolling fields, illuminating the resilient, grey-stone farmhouses that dot the landscape. This is a place where the land itself seems to breathe with a slow, steady exhalation, a quiet dignity found in the hedgerows that have been patiently tended for generations. The winding lanes, barely wide enough for a single car, invite contemplation, leading one past ancient oaks and small copses of trees that hold their secrets close.
