St Peter's Church

St Peter's Church, Stoke Fleming, is Grade 2* listed and dates from the 13th century.  The tower stands 83 feet high at 400 feet above sea level, and was formerly a sea mark to help mariners navigate into the port of Dartmouth.

 

The church is situated adjacent to the South West Coast Path and therefore attracts many passing visitors interested in the history of the building, and to admire the magnificent views over Start Bay.   The church is usually open for prayer and meditation and for visiting during daylight hours.
