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.

Very peaceful walk avoids most traffic didn't pass a sole

Great spot for a coffee or lunch by the beach

Lovely hilly coastal road, quite a challenging ride and potentially busy at peak times, but always beautiful.

Just beautiful. All year round this is worth a visit.

Beautiful coastal area. Can be busy at peak times but always beautiful.

This restored Sherman Tank was recovered from the sea in 1984 and commemorates the tragic loss of life in 1944 on Exercise Tiger. The exercise went badly wrong after the arrival of German U-Boats and was kept quiet for many years. A number of the US servicemen who died are still buried in unmarked graves. Further information can be found here https://www.submerged.co.uk/slapton/ In the build up to the D-Day Landings, Torcross and its beach were used as a training area due to its resemblance to the Normandy beaches. Around 300 residents were evacuated

The coast road separates Slapton Sands and Slapton Ley, a National Nature Reserve on it's way between Slapton and Torcross. This road was built in 2002 after its predecessor was undermined by storms in 2001. In December 1943, around 3000 residents around this area were evacuated for 12 months for top secret D-Day landing practice on Slapton Sands, chosen for its similarity to Normandy beaches.

Dartmouth Castle is over 600 years old and perches beautifully on the clifftops overlooking the Dart Estuary. The castle is open to visitors and has plenty to see inside and out. Owned by English Heritage, there is also a tearoom and if you're tired, a ferry boat will take you from the castle to Dartmouth. See the website for further details https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/dartmouth-castle/
