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. SX 898 702
