Welcome to the official website of Strete in Devon, England, which is managed by Strete Parish Council. Strete is about a fifteen minute drive from Dartmouth. It is to be found on the high coastal ground at the eastern end of Slapton Sands. It's a good place to stay if you like exploring the local beaches and is also convenient for Kingsbridge, Totnes and Salcombe. Strete is situated on the South West Coastal Footpath and, with a variety of accommodation in the village, it is an ideal location to take a break in your journey. Take time to relax and enjoy the beautiful AONB surroundings.
We recently commemorated the 80th
anniversary of Exercise Tiger which was less than 6 weeks before the D-Day landings. The terrible consequences of that disaster helped the success of D-Day but not without the ultimate sacrifice of more service personnel.
It is a time to quietly reflect and for the community to come together to play our part in the Nations Tribute at the Beacon Lighting Ceremony at Manor Farm Beacon Site from 6pm on 6th
June. There will be a Ram Roast and Live Music followed by the Beacon Lighting at 9:15pm.
