SLAPTON LEY
NATIONAL NATURE RESERVE
A SITE OF SPECIAL SCIENTIFIC INTEREST
Much of Slapton Ley, the largest expanse of fresh water in the South West of England, lies in the parish of Stokenham. Separated from the sea waters of Start Bay by only a narrow ridge of shingle, the Ley is home to a variety of rare birds and provides a resting place for many migratory species.

BOARDWALK OPEN AGAIN
After considerable renovation works the timber boardwalk which spans the reed bed adjacent to Slapton Sewage Works, linking Southgrounds Track and Marsh Lane has now been reopened. (This is a "permissive route")
