The M4 from London, the M6 from the North West and the M1/M42 from the North East link up with the M5 to Devon, from where you can join the A30 to Moretonhampstead, our nearest town. North Bovey is a five-minute drive from here. If you're using a sat nav/GPS, plug in Moretonhampstead, our nearest town, as your destination. From Moretonhampstead, turn into Pound Street, opposite the Co-op, and keep following this single-track country lane for about 1.5 miles until you get to North Bovey. Once you’ve passed the 'North Bovey, please drive carefully' sign, take the first turning on the left (opposite a grassy island with a tree in the middle). Moorland View is the third terraced cottage on the right, with two lollipop-shaped bay trees outside and a dark purple door. This is the back entrance, where there is space for one car. There's more free parking on the village green.
