If you are coming down the M5 then we recommend you exit the A380 at the turning for Teignmouth (B3192 then A379) and come along the coast via Shaldon, Maidencombe and Babbacombe — the A380 after Newton Abbot can be very congested so it is usually quicker along the coast and it is a beautiful route. Whichever way you choose head towards Torquay seafront —you will see and can follow the brown Tourist signs for Cockington Country Park if arriving via Newton Abbot otherwise head for Torquay town centre and harbour/seafront. At the seafront turn towards Paignton and after about half a mile at Livermead turn right signposted to Cockington. Go under the railway bridge and turn left and right at the two mini roundabouts. Then follow the windy country lane (Cockington Lane) for about half a mile and you will find us as you enter the village on the left. If you have SatNav then it will probably take you on the A380 route turning down Preston Down Road off the A380 and then down the Old Totnes Road (The Old Totnes Road is narrow and mostly single track so beware!). In to the village centre (see 4 above) — turn right down Cockington Lane towards the seafront (we have a Brown Tourist sign directing you in the village centre) and we are approx 300 yards on the RHS. If you are coming from the SW on the A38 then head for Totnes and then Paignton. Watch out for a hidden left turn to Berry Pomeroy half a mile outside Totnes and follow this road to Marldon and then straight across the A380 Preston Down roundabout—this will save you time and it’s a nice drive. If you miss the turn then carry on until you meet the major cross roads with the A380 and turn left heading for Torquay/Newton Abbot then pick up the directions below after turning right at the Preston Down roundabout (there is an Occombe Farm brown tourist sign).  Follow the Preston Down Road and then turn left after 200 yards down the Old Totnes Road at Occombe Farm (there is no sign post to Cockington and The Old Totnes Road is narrow and mostly single track so beware!) In to the village centre (see 4 above) — turn right as directed by the Brown Tourist sign down Cockington Lane and we are approx 300 yards on the RHS. The Old Totnes Road is narrow and mostly single track so beware!
