Haccombe - St Blaize |
 |
| The church is locked except forWednesday afternoons in the summer. Write to the church for permission to visit: the welcome is very cordial! I could not find Haccombe on my satnav but the postcode is TQ12 4SJ. Take the first exit at the roundabout at Newton Abbot on the A380 coming from Exeter. Follow this 'yellow' road for just over a mile until you come to the first staggered cross roads and turn right; there was no signpost but the turning is opposite a war memorial on your left. You should immediately pass a telephone box on your right. There is a sign to Haccombe and a later sign to St Blaize further along this road, which is quite narrow. Pass through a gateway marked Church Farm and Haccombe House along a very narrow road until you reach the church where you can park outside. O/S Ref: SX 898 702 O/S Map Landranger 202. |
