Exeter, approximately 12 miles away is the most thriving city in the South West and offers a wide choice of cultural activities with the theatre, the museum, arts centre and a wealth of good shopping and restaurants. The area is ideal for those with a love of the outdoors with the coast nearby offering sailing and water sports, golf at Teignmouth Golf Course and Dartmoor National Park providing miles of walking and cycling routes to explore.

Directions

From Exeter, take the A38 heading south and join the A380 before leaving at the exit for Teignmouth/B3192. At the roundabout, take the second exit onto the B3192/Colley Lane. After 2.3 miles turn right toward Bishopsteignton and then continue on this road, past the golf course, for 1.7 miles. At the crossroads, turn towards Lindridge and after 0.5 miles, at the junction with Humber Lane, the entrance to Lindridge Park lies directly ahead, through a tall gated entrance. Pass through these front gates and follow the driveway, continuing on through the inner gates and after a further 0.2 miles you will find the Manor House to your left and the Italian Gardens to your right. Immediately past these take the turn on the left and the driveway then opens into a courtyard, with garages to the right and homes to the left. You will find the entrance to Bishop House nestled in the far-left corner of the courtyard.
