DIRECTIONS:

On reaching the approaches to Plymouth on the A38 from Exeter, stay on the dual carriageway following the signs to Liskeard and Cornwall. Take the second exit in two miles, at the Manadon Flyover (signposted Tavistock A386 and Airport).

At the roundabout at the top of the slip road, take the 5th exit still signposted to Tavistock A386. Proceed up the slip road to join a dual carriageway for approximately 2 miles to a large roundabout with traffic lights. Keep in the left hand lane, signposted to Tamerton Foliot. Turn left into Looseleigh Lane and descend the hill for just over a mile to the T-Junction and turn right into Tamerton Foliot Road. Follow this road into the village passing St. Mary's Church, and the Inns and Post Office on the right. Ascend the hill for 300 yards and fork left into Horsham Lane with a small white signpost to Warleigh. In 200 yards further turn left, (still Horsham Lane) and continue to the top of the hill. Turn left at the Lodge through the gate into the drive, marked "Warleigh Private".

Proceed for half a mile, cross over another cattle grid and continue straight on, over the crossroads, through stone gate pillars. Follow this road bearing right in a further 1/2 mile at a round red brick Dovecote. Keep right behind the Dovecote to approach the chapel end of the Mansion House, to arrive in the Tudor Wing car park.
