The village and civil parish of Stoke Fleming lies on the western edge of Start Bay in the district of South Hams, Devon, England. Perched on slopes above the coast and close to the freshwater lagoon of Slapton Ley, it offers sweeping views across the bay and is crossed by the South West Coast Path, making it a popular stop for walkers and birdwatchers.
With medieval origins and a compact core of stone cottages and narrow lanes, the local economy blends farming, coastal tourism and commuters to nearby Dartmouth, while community life revolves around village events, a hall and small local services that give the place a distinctly rural, seaside character. Historical buildings and the surrounding countryside make it appealing to visitors looking for quiet coastal charm.
