When I last stayed here 50 years ago, the site was called Stokeley Meadow, Kingsbridge. I suppose Start Bay is a better name for marketing the site. In 1968, as a 10-year old, I had an eerie feeling the whole holiday that something terrible had happened here. I've never felt anything like it before or since. Ken Small's book about the disastrous secret April 1944 'Exercise Tiger' published in 1988 finally provided an explanation for me. The recovered Sherman Tank at Torcross still creates a lot of interest. Access to the site is temporarily more difficult via narrow roads from Kingsbridge due to the A379 being closed until late Autumn 2018 by Slapton/Strete. Some of the locals seem to think they can drive through your vehicle, which makes the narrow roads challenging to say the least. The site is well kept by the wardens who never seem to stop working. We have a Motorhome, so no car. Kingsbridge is a 20 minute bus ride away, but is sadly very run down with lots of empty shops. It's an easy walk to Torcross, which has an excellent pub and cafes/restaurants. Our old dogs enjoyed a daily walk on the beach. We enjoyed riding our electric bikes to have a look at Slapton.
