How to find us

Travel, particularly via London, may be affected during the first three weeks of the Summer School that coincide with the Olympic Games. We therefore advise you book as early as possible.

by car

From Exeter
The M5 becomes the A38. The road then divides, left to Torbay or straight on to Plymouth. Take the Plymouth (A38) road. After passing the two slip roads to Ashburton take the next exit, signed to Totnes, Dartmouth and Kingsbridge. Turn left onto the A384 and follow signs to Totnes. After approximately 4 miles, you will enter the village of Dartington. Shortly after the village sign, turn left at Dartington Church and follow this road for 1 mile. The main car park is on the left, below the over-spill car park. The entrance to the courtyard is directly opposite the main car park.

From Plymouth
take the A38 up to the A385 turning, signposted Dartington. After approximately 3½ miles you reach the mini roundabout in Dartington village. Bear left towards Buckfastleigh and after ¼ mile turn right at the church. Follow this road for 1 mile. The main car park is on the left, below the over-spill car park. The entrance to the courtyard is directly opposite the main car park.

by rail

The nearest rail station is at Totnes (on the main Paddington – Penzance line), approximately 1½ miles from Dartington Hall. There is a level footpath to Dartington Hall directly from the station which travels alongside the River Dart for ¾ mile and meets with the Dartington Hall drive. Turn right here and walk the remaining ¾ mile along the drive. (NB the drive portion of the walk is uphill and may be tiring if pushing wheelchairs or buggies or carrying children.) There is also a taxi rank at Totnes Station. Click here for the First Great Western website
