Welcome to the official website of Strete in Devon, England. It is run and administered by the Parish Council of the village.
Strete is the gateway to a wonderfully scenic stretch of coastal footpath which now goes to Stoke Fleming, via the stunning Blackpool Sands in one direction and Strete Gate and Slapton Sands in the other.
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 convenient for Kingsbridge (about twenty five minutes) and Totnes (about the same). A drive to Salcombe will take you about thirty five minutes.
Please contact the Parish Clerk with any ideas for articles, to offer photographs or for general feedback.
LATEST STRETE NEWS....!
Strete Parish Council voted to purchase a
Community Defibrillator for the village and, due to the
overwhelming generosity of Caroline and Andrew Bagshaw
who have funded the project, it has now been delivered!
The Parish Council held a community evening with training and information on
Monday 30th January in the Parish Hall.
Parishioners were able to attend to learn more about the defibrillator, how it works and the importance of CPR in addition.
Four members of the South West Ambulance Trust attended and ran sessions on the use of the defibrillator and how to carry out CPR. The machine is now at the Parish Hall.

The Exact route the Olympic Torch will be taking next year has been unveiled:
Day 2 - Sunday 20th May 2012: Plymouth to Exeter
Brixton, Yealmpton, Modbury, Kingsbridge, West Charleton, Chillington, Torcross,
Stoke Fleming, Dartmouth, Totnes, Paignton, Torquay, Teignmouth, Exeter.
Although it will be travelling through Strete, we have since found out that sadly it will be in
'convoy mode' with a high possibility that it will be in the torch lorry and will therefore be unseen.
