You can always walk via the wonderful South West Coastal Path, but there are other ways of getting here…
Our postcode for Satnav is PL29 3RD. We are about 250 miles / 4 hours away from London by road and the quickest route would be via the M4 Westbound to Bristol -> M5 Southbound to Exeter -> A30 -> A395 -> B3314.
