Allington and Strete form a largely rural coastal ward in South Hams, Devon, England. The area overlooks Start Bay and sits close to the long shingle beach and nature reserve at Slapton Sands and Slapton Ley, with the South West Coast Path running nearby and drawing walkers along the dramatic coastline.
Locally the economy is a mix of agriculture, small-scale fishing and tourism, with holiday cottages and independent businesses serving summer visitors; there is a strong community feel centred on village halls and parish churches. The locality carries historical resonance too - nearby Slapton Sands was used for World War II D‑Day rehearsals (Exercise Tiger) - and residents value the quiet rural character and easy links to towns such as Dartmouth and Torbay for services and commuting.
