The South West Coastal Path provides walkers with an opportunity to enjoy some breathtaking vistas, the Ley nature reserve, a haven for bird wildlife is just behind the house and for those who like exploring further afield Dartmoor is easily accessible and a trip to Cornwall is a very pleasant day out.

Torcross is located at the southern end of Slapton Sands, a narrow strip of land between the beautiful Start Bay and the stunning freshwater lake at Slapton Ley Nature Reserve. Surrounded by picturesque scenery on all sides, Torcross is home to some fantastic cafés and pubs and is the perfect place to enjoy a sunny afternoon watching (or participating in) watersports and fishing on the vast shingle beach.
While modern day guests will find a sleepy fishing village, nestling peacefully at the edge of a 2 mile beach, the area has a fascinating past. Most famously, during World War II, Torcross was evacuated along some of its neighbouring villages to make way for 15,000 allied troops who needed the beach to practice for the D-Day landings. Tragically, the operation ended in disaster, and the Exercise Tiger memorial at the edge of the ley commemorates the 800 Americans who lost their lives in the bay.
The short coastal walk from Torcross to neighbouring Beesands provides sensational views and is dotted with remnants from the military presence, as well as traces of the area's slate quarrying past. Beesands is also home to the fantastic seafood shack Britannia @ The Beach and the popular pub The Cricket Inn.
Continuing further along this stretch of rugged coastline (if you have the stamina) you will reach Hallsands and the Lighthouse. Meanwhile, a short drive will take you to wonderful beaches at Blackpool Sands in one direction or the more remote Lannacombe, Mattiscombe and Gara Rock in the other.
Twenty minutes away, the village of East Portlemouth with its golden sandy beaches, is where you can take the passenger ferry over the estuary to Salcombe, famous for its shops, sailing and great pubs and restaurants. The towns of Dartmouth and Kingsbridge are also within easy reach while the villages nearest neighbour, Slapton also boasts two great pubs.
A holiday cottage in Torcross offers a superb spot from which to explore this magnificent stretch of South Devon coastline.
