Slapton Sands
27/5/26 3 nights 105 miles.
Oops. We did what you are forbidden to do: drive through the very narrow village. You are suppose to drive round to the campsite from the sea, we came from inland but got away with it. Very, very narrow and extremely annoying for everyone. Sorry everyone, we are really not bad people.
We had basically a walk along Slapton Sands which is an abandoned road - great for getting your kids on a bike with no traffic, and there is a walk around the lake behind.
We didn’t know what to expect but Slapton Sands should definitely renamed as Slapton Pebbles, THERE IS NO SAND!
What there is, is an old American Sherman tank, left as a memorial to the US soldiers who lost their life on a training exercise for D Day landings in 1943. A very moving experience.
I must mention our dinner at the pub further up the hill, the Tower Inn was superb outdoor cooking. Pass by the others and eat here if you can. (French Chef - meat on the rare side, delicious but maybe not for children).
