Strete is a small, elevated village and parish in the South Hams that looks out over Start Bay, with sweeping views towards Start Point and the shingle run of Slapton Sands. It sits close to the freshwater lagoon of Slapton Ley and the South West Coast Path, making it a popular spot for walkers, birdwatchers and anyone seeking coastal scenery away from busier resorts.
Locally the economy blends small-scale farming, holiday accommodation and commuters who work in nearby Dartmouth or the wider South Hams; social life revolves around a compact, community-minded village scene. The area has a long history - evidenced by a parish church of medieval origin and wartime memory from the Slapton training exercises - and the combination of natural interest and quiet rural character gives Strete a distinct, understated appeal.
