Directions

From the A382, take the road signposted into Lustleigh. After about ¾ of a mile you will cross the old railway bridge and then take a 90 degree left bend towards the village. Just before you drop down to the centre where the church is you will see a sharp turn up to the right which has an Unsuitable for HGVs sign. Take this lane and drive up the hill in the direction of Sanduck. A mile up the lane on the right you will come to the property called Mametz.
