Car parks - alphabetical order

 

Burrator Quarry

Link to Google Satellite map - You can drag the human figure onto the road, to go to Street View, or click the second link .....

Link to Google Street View - You can click ahead to drive ahead, drag the scene left or right to turn about, click ahead again to drive back along the route  You can also zoom in or out with the mouse thumbwheel - I'm not sure about other devices.

 

 

Grenofen Bridge

Map reference:  SX 489 709

Lat / Long - used by some sat navs:  50�31'07.3"N,  4�7'53.1"W

 

Link to Google Satellite map - You can drag the human figure onto the road, to go to Street View, or click the link below .....

The map shows Grenofen at the top of the screen.  Note Drake's Caf� with its car park - almost opposite the cafe is the road that you want.

Drake's Caf� used to be the Halfway House pub.

There are three lines running down the screen - the first line is something I know nothing about, a 'glitch'?  Take the second road on the left (beside the wood) and follow it to the end, which is a car park. You can drag the map up the screen etc. to see it, or zoom in / out. The car park is just below a "River Walkham" label, with two cars pictured in it.

The approach to the car park, after you go over the bridge, is very bumpy so drive slowly.

You can drag the "little man" icon at bottom right onto the road and obtain the Street View: that you can click ahead on to drive ahead, "drag" the scene left or right to turn about, click ahead again to drive back along the route  You can also zoom in or out with the mouse thumbwheel - I'm not sure about other devices.

Street View - approaching from Yelverton - turn LEFT immediately after the bus stop.

Street View - approaching from Tavistock - turn RIGHT immediately after passing Drake's Caf� ('pink' in colour).

 

 

Norsworthy Bridge

From Dousland, at the crossroads beside Burrator Inn, drive south towards Meavy, turn left immediately after the 30 mph sign, over a cattle grid, follow the road to the dam, drive straight ahead andpass the dam (don't go over it), follow the road for miles until you cross a small bridge (Norsworthy Bridge), park here or a hundred yards further on in a bigger parking area.

You can drag the "little man" icon at bottom right onto the road and obtain the Street View: that you can click ahead on to drive ahead, "drag" the scene left or right to turn about, click ahead again to drive back along the route  You can also zoom in or out with the mouse thumbwheel - I'm not sure about other devices.

Street View of Burrator Inn - turn right at the small crossroads ahead (signpost "Meavy" & brown sign "Burrator Reservoir").

 

 

Rees Jeffreys

The large car park is in the centre of the screen, north of the road. Tavistock is to the left, Two Bridges to the right.

You can drag the "little man" icon at bottom right onto the road and obtain the Street View: that you can click ahead on to drive ahead, "drag" the scene left or right to turn about, click ahead again to drive back along the route  You can also zoom in or out with the mouse thumbwheel - I'm not sure about other devices.

I will erect a flag at the entrance to the car park about 9.30 am, it is easy to miss from either direction, I know!

It will be either St. George's, Cornish or Welsh dragon, probably the latter because it has some green in it .....

 

 

Roborough Rock

Link to Google Satellite map - You can drag the human figure onto the road, to go to Street View, or click the second link .....

The car park is in the centre of the map, there two aircraft bays that are close together - I generally use the second only because it is nearer to "the Rock"..

The car park can be reached by taking the Crapstone turning off the main A386 Roborough-Yelverton road

Link to Google Street View of the turning approaching from Plymouth - the Rock is just visible, left of the blue pointer

Link to Google Street View of the turning approaching from Yelverton

The car park can also be approached by taking the first road on the right after leaving Yelverton roundabout and driving towards Plymouth. Then, first roaf on the left onto the old airfield.

 

 

Sharpitor

Link to Google Satellite map - see the blue marker on the road between Dousland and Princetown.You can zoom in and out on the map with the thumbwheel etc.

Map reference:  SX 560 708

Lat / Long - used by some sat navs:  50�31'11.0"N, 4�1'56.3"W

This view is after passing Goadstone Pond on the right after leaving Dousland, driving towards Princetown. There is a second, smaller car park just past the xra park we are meeting in.  The trees are the "top end" of the woods at Burrator.
