Weirholme Annex

Location

The entrance to Weirholme Annex is in Burlington Grove through a wooden gate. When turning into Burlington Grove from Landkey Road, park at the first opportunity on the right. The entrance to Weirholme Annex will be there through a wooden gate with the Weirholme Annex sign.

With a popular school nearby, it is advised to avoid the school run when travelling by car in the time between 14:45 and 15:15 during school terms.

Good news — Rock Park Bridge (a.k.a. Iron Bridge) has reopened after almost 3 year long closure. You can again arrive by foot from the train station or by bicycle along the trail. This puts us again onto the major cycle routes through Devon and cross country.
