Thank you for visiting.  The aim of this Site is to provide  information  about the South Devon  village of  Slapton  for both visitors and residents alike. Slapton lies midway between  Kingsbridge & Dartmouth and is a half mile inland from the  famous  Slapton  Sands.   Slapton Ley Nature Reserve justifiably attracts visitors from all over the world, be it for scientific, educational or recreational purposes. The  village  manages to combine  being a thriving  local  community  with  being  an excellent choice for a holiday. Slapton has two Public Houses, a General Store, a well equipped village hall, a church & a Chapel, the  Slapton Ley Field Studies Centre and two local Campsites. The sweeping hands of time have had little effect on Slapton, as can be seen by these two pictures  taken 74 years apart;  sadly, we  have  been  unable to trace  the  four children who posed for the original picture.
