| Directions to Branscombe
Village Hall. Postcode EX12 3DB Branscombe is a very long village - just because you've arrived doesn't mean you don't have a mile or so still to drive! Keeping on going downhill should get you to the hall. There are several routes from the A3052, one or two are recommended at night. Advice is given on the map page. For a full map click here Travelling from Sidmouth and Sidford, turn at the junction signed Donkey Sanctuary. The road through Weston and past Berry Barton Farm is NOT recommended. |
