スラプトンでののおすすめランニングルート

Make your Bakewell Slice last at the cafe. £3.80 and its a two-chomper :-)

Great little place to visit. It's an English Heritage Site so free entry for members.

The climb isn't too steep, it's just a long constant grind.

Even when cycling up the hill it's worth stopping and looking behind you at where you've just come from.

This American Sherman Tank was recovered from the sea in 1984. It is a memorial to those who lost their lives during exercise Tiger. Exercise Tiger was ill-fated with instances of friendly fire, miss managed communications and amidst the confusion German fast attack boats slipped in amongst the landing craft and sunk a couple. About 700 allies lost their lives here practising for the D-Day landings.

Slapton Ley is a freshwater lake separated from the sea by a sandbar which now carries the road and a brilliant running trail. The Ley is an important nature reserve with an unusual habitat hosting a range of rare species. The trail is flat, sandy and almost 4km long, perfect for run training and also beautiful for a gentle jog.

Dartmouth Castle was built in 1388 to protect the rich town's harbour against French raids. About a hundred years later the walls were strengthened, and the gun tower was added. This was the first coastal artillery installation in the UK. The castle was updated in the mid 1600s for the English civil war. It's been updated several times since then, and was used in the first and second world war. Today the castle is managed by English Heritage, it's open for visitors every day from 10:00 - 17:00. It's paid entry unless you're an English Heritage member.

The Slapton Sands Memorial remembers both the villagers and locals who had to give up their houses to let the army and navy practise for the D Day landings and to the service men who lost their lives during this exercise. Exercise Tiger was ill fated with instances of friendly fire, miss managed communications and amidst the confusion German fast attack boats slipped in amongst the landing craft and sunk a couple. About 700 allies lost their lives here practising for the D Day landings.
