Directions - Travelling along M5 just past Exeter, at J31 the M5 turns into the A38. After 2 miles (approx) A38 splits into the A38 and the A380, take the left hand road A380 signed to Torquay. After 10 miles (approx) you reach Newton Abbot. On the approach the first (1/2 mile warning) green sign post the junction is named PENN INN and indicates the left hand lane for Newton Abbot A381 – you want this left hand lane. The next sign post is for Superstore and Plant world, stay left. Then the sign is back to Newton Abbot, Totnes A381, stay in left hand lane. Then the same but arrow is now pointing left, stay in left hand lane. Now white sign showing roundabout, take the first exit to Combeinteignhead.* As you leave the roundabout to the left take the middle lane with COMB written on the tarmac. Follow this road straight up the hill through two set of traffic lights. Keep on this road, it takes you through the village of Netherton. Do be careful, this road is narrow, often going down to a single lane. Keep going and you will soon reach Combeinteignhead. Drive through the village, as you approach a Y junction (by the red telephone box and garage) follow the road taking a sharp left (signed Combe Cellars, Shaldon, Teignmouth). About ¼ of a mile outside the village, you will see a house on the left, take the narrow left hand fork immediately after this (going downhill), there is a brown arrow sign pointing left on the a post on the right-hand side (just to be confusing!) for the Combe Cellars pub. If you go uphill you’ve missed it! This will take you past the yacht club into the Combe Cellars car park. Drive to the far left corner and park by the river.
