From the A380 take Ugbrooke House the exit towards Chudleigh. Follow the county lane past Ugbrooke House and up the other side of the valley, following signs to Chudleigh. Go straight on at the crossroads, continuing to follow signs towards Chudleigh. We are about a quarter of a mile down the hill, on the right after a couple of wiggly bends. About half a mile before you reach Chudleigh.

From A38 take the Chudleigh exit, drive towards the town, and turn right down Lawn Drive (signposted towards Ugbrooke House). Cross Kate Brook at Clifford Street and continue straight up Tower Hill, past the allotments and the cemetery. We are on the left about half a mile outside Chudleigh.
