About

Stokenham ward encompasses a stretch of the South Devon coastline, including the Start Bay settlements of Beesands, Hallsands, and Torcross. The area is characterised by a mix of agricultural land, small villages, and shingle beaches. The inland part of the ward contains the larger village of Stokenham itself, along with surrounding farmland and narrow lanes.

The landscape is defined by its proximity to Slapton Ley, a large freshwater lagoon separated from the sea by a narrow pebble ridge. This ridge forms part of the coast road at Torcross. The area has a history heavily connected to fishing and farming, with a quieter pace than some neighbouring coastal destinations.
