Follow signposts for Ilfracombe.

  1. If coming from Combe Martin (A399) – drive along Ilfracombe High Street, right to the end (past Somerfield on your right).  At the traffic lights, head straight over towards the mini roundabout.  At the roundabout turn left & then take the first turning right – this is Church Hill.
     
  2. Drive up Church Hill, with the church on your right.  Continue along here – the road bears round to the left, and on your right you’ll see some big houses set into the hillside – the Quarry is one of these.  At the end of the road, at the T junction, turn right.  This is Torrs Park. The road bears round to the right & up the hill. You will pass 2 left turns, and after these the houses begin - starting with Norbury House Hotel. We are the 6th house on the left hand side.  ‘The Quarry’ is carved into the gatepost.  The drive is steep, so take it slowly.
  1. If coming from Braunton / Barnstaple (A361)– Follow signs to Ilfracombe.  At Mullacott Cross Roundabout the left hand turn is to Woolcombe, there is the Cooks Island Pub straight ahead.  Go straight across here, heading towards Ilfracombe. The road goes down into the town.  After a few minutes this becomes St Brannocks Road, with lots of small B&Bs.  At the end of the road, but before the mini roundabout, there are 2 left turns – one which doubles back on yourself & another that goes off at a right angle (Church Hill) – this is the one you need.
  2. Follow directions as no 2 in Combe Martin paragraph above

The nearest train station is Barnstaple, this is a branch line from Exeter.  We are about a 20 min taxi ride from Barnstaple.  If you're coming from London, and there are a few of you, get the train to Tiverton Parkway (2.25 hrs from Paddington) & arrange for a taxi to drive you to Ilfracombe.  The journey is about 1 hour.

Easter 2010 will see the new Swansea / Ilfracombe passenger ferry, sailing twice daily & taking c.50 min each way.
