or right lane onto A380/A38, then bear left
onto A380, signposted Torquay. Turn left
onto the A381 signposted Teignmouth - ignoring
any Torquay signs at this point. On entering
Teignmouth turn sharp right at the first
set of lights and cross the causeway bridge,
following signs for Torquay, through Shaldon
then along the A379 coast road. Brunel Manor
is on the right-hand side after the village
of Maidencombe, four miles before the Torquay
town centre.
By Car from the West:
If using the A30, then follow it as far
as Exeter and then double back onto the
A380 west, following the above directions.
If using the A38, then leave it at the
A385, through Totnes towards Paignton &
Torquay. Turn left at lights in Collaton St Mary onto the A380 and
follow this over 3 roundabouts to a fourth
roundabout at the bottom of long hill. Turn
right off the A380 onto the A3022 towards Torquay town centre. Follow this dual carriageway to a third set
of traffic lights (by Torbay Hospital &
McDonalds) and turn left up Hele Road. Cross
the first roundabout, turn left towards
Teignmouth (A379) at the double mini-roundabout
and then left at the next roundabout, Brunel
Manor is on the left-hand side one mile
on, at the top of the hill.

Follow signs to Torquay (A380) to the roundabout
at the junction with the A3022, go straight
over and then follow above directions.

There is a Taxi stand at the coach station.
Brunel Manor is three miles from the coach
station.
By bus: The Stagecoach
32T service runs between Teignmouth and Torquay,
with a stop directly outside the Manor.
During the summer this is a half hourly service Mon-Sat and hourly on Sundays. During the winter this is an hourly service Mon-Sat with no service on Sundays. If coming
from Exeter, the No 2 service stops at Teignmouth
and then change onto the 32T.
By train: There are far
more direct trains to Newton Abbot than
Torquay and both stations are a similar
distance from the Manor. So book to Newton
Abbot and use a taxi to get to Brunel Manor.

only, then book to Teignmouth and get the
32T bus for the final stage.

SAT NAV USERS
Enter TQ1 4SF as the destination, and NOT
Teignmouth Road, otherwise you are liable
to end up in the town centre, some 4 miles
from the Manor. Also beware that some Sat Navs may direct you to Seymour Drive, which is at the back of the Manor; whilst there is pedestrian access from there, there is no vehicular access. Teignmouth Road has many
twists and turns, so be warned! If you are
unfortunate enough to get lost in Torquay,
then follow signs for A379 Teignmouth, the
Manor is at the top of a winding hill on
the left hand side.
