Slapton, Historical village in South Hams, England
Slapton extends across 3260 acres of land near Start Bay, featuring scattered houses with views over the coastline and a freshwater lake called Slapton Ley.
The parish church of St James holds historical records dating back to 1634, while the manor was previously held under the See of Exeter with specific stewardship duties.
The Field Studies Council operates an educational center focused on environmental studies, connecting students with the local natural heritage and marine ecosystems.
The village provides residents with two pubs, a community shop, a village hall, two churches, several campsites, and a recreation field for daily activities.
During World War II, Slapton Sands served as a training ground for Operation Tiger, a D-Day rehearsal that resulted in significant military casualties.
