The simplest way to be directed from the south, whether you travel
on the A38 (from Plymouth), the A380 (from Torquay) or on the A30 (from
Okehampton), is via Junction 30 on the M5. This is the exit where the Granada
Services are situated.
Should you choose to travel on the old Exeter bypass from the south,
then you will approach Countess Weir roundabout (see below) from the
opposite direction - there is a footbridge over the road a short
distance before it. Turn left (first exit) and then follow the
subsequent instructions below.
Leave the M5, and follow the slip-road down to a set of traffic
lights. In fact there is a large roundabout under the M5 with traffic lights
all round it.
Take the first exit (ie turn immediately left), marked as the A379 and signposted to Exeter City Centre.
Signs now are for Exeter (sometimes City Centre too), and sometimes for Hospitals.
Take the third exit off this dual carriageway: this will lead you onto the old Exeter bypass, heading south.
Move into the right hand lane (of two) as soon as practicable.
You will reach Countess Weir roundabout, which also has traffic lights all around, and a pole in the middle with a TV camera on it (smile please!). There is also a Shell petrol station on the right before the roundabout.
Turn right - the third exit, signposted to Exeter City Centre. This is Topsham Road.
Look out for a high brick wall on the right with a (now disused) gate - this is the Barracks.
Turn right at lights into Barrack Road, signed to the main hospital (R D & E, Wonford).
At the first junction with lights, turn left, the Church is about 100 metres on your left (opposite the Nuffield Hospital) - you will see a white wall a little past the entrance.
