Directions to YeaImpton Woodland Burial ground

  We are on the Ordnance Survey map 202 square 56/50 Grid ref. SX568 502

From Plymouth City Centre, take the A379 towards Kingsbridge. After leaving Plymouth and entering the South Hams, you will go through Brixton village. Carry on through to the other side of Brixton and about a mile further you see a sign for 'Woodiand Burial Ground'. Turn right here (on the road, not into the first driveway which is the Kitley Hotel driveway). Go down into the dip and over the little bridge and up the other side of the hill. On the way up the hill you go through woodland, then the road has a sharp left bend. After that bend, Lower Heddon is the second field on the left.

From Exeter Take M5 then A38 towards Plymouth. Do not take the first turning off A38 for YeaImpton; take the second turning signposted YeaImpton and Smithaleigh. As you turn off the A38, go past the Little Chef then the petrol station. Stop as soon as a road joins from the right. Then turn left leaving the New Country Inn on your right. Follow this lane to the village of YeaImpton (2 miles) then take A379 towards Plymouth through the village and out the other side. You will see a sign for 'Woodland Burial Ground'. Turn left and follow the directions above.
