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.

After 200 water voles were released into the Gara last September near Hutcherleigh and Millcombe, the Habitat Group were pleased to see the results of a survey showing that they had settled in well with plenty of signs of vole activity. Keen eyed locals have spotted water voles as far north as Ritson and near Forder which is a kilometre or so south of the release sites. It is possible that they have already reached as far as Slapton Ley. However these adventurous voles need to find breeding partners on their travels to make the reintroduction sustainable in the long term and so we will be releasing the next 200 further south along the Gara in early June.
Anyone who would like to know more or get involved in the releases is very welcome to get in touch. Please email Sue (The Habitat Group) at suehadow@gmail.com or visit

The latest information is that the main road through Harbertonford will be closed each night from 20:00 hrs until 05:30 hrs from 12th February for 5 weeks (18th March).
No details of the works available, but it's reasonable to assume Devon Highways will be re-constructing the road surface to get rid of all the potholes in this area.
