"
What a wonderful place, Little Fingerling and gardens are lovely. Startpoint beach was quiet and unspoilt, East Portlemouth gives lovely views over Salcombe with beautiful beaches and hidden coves round the costal path. It’s a lovely walk into Dartmouth too, this has been a welcome break from home.

Came to have quality family time before my brother has a serious operation. What a beautiful place, so quiet and peaceful place just what the doctor ordered. We had a brilliant time a briefly forgot our problems, we will always remember Valley Springs.

Slapton Ley National Nature Reserve (NNR) is recognised as a wetland with an important place in Britain's natural heritage. The main feature is the Lower Ley, which is the largest natural lake in south-west England. Although it is only separated from the sea by a narrow shingle bar, it is entirely freshwater. The bar itself is of geological interest, and harbours a wealth of colourful flowers in the summer. Surrounding marshes, reed-beds and woodland add to the variety of habitats. These provide excellent feeding and breeding grounds for a rich and varied wildlife. Much is accessible by public footpath, and is a major attraction for birdwatchers and naturalists.
