Link to Google Street View - view approaching from the west (Tavistock) direction. 

If you approach from the east i.e. Exeter direction, you need to turn off for Sourton, after the reservoir area.
Then TURN RIGHT, going under the A30, passing Burger King and the Travelodge
then TURN RIGHT to rejoin the A30 and drive back along the A30 to the Okehampton & Meldon exit.

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.
