The post code for SAHARA is PL27 6LL which, if you are using a navigator or route planner, will take you to within yards of the house.
If you do not have a navigator, please click on the map or link above to go to Google Maps - OR print off the directions below - which we hope are easier to understand - for use on your journey:
- Take the M5 towards Exeter.
Exeter Services is the last 24 hour fuel station on the route – so refuel there if you need to. It is a further 80 miles to Rock. In an emergency you can detour slightly off the route at Bodmin to reach the 24 hour fuel at the ASDA supermarket.
- Exit from M5 Junction 31 onto the A30 following - Okehampton, Launceston and Bodmin. On the approach to Bodmin slow down after the airport sign as the slip road comes upon you very early.
- Exit to Bodmin. Take the Bodmin slip road to BODMIN TOWN CENTRE and then follow right and right again etc. to leave Bodmin on the A389 for Wadebridge – 6 miles.
- On the approach to Wadebridge, pass TRELAWNEY GARDEN CENTRE and stay on the main bypass road up to the large roundabout at which you turn left following town centre.
- After 100 metres turn slightly RIGHT at the mini roundabout.
- After another 100 metres turn right at the mini roundabout onto the B3314 to Rock – 6.5 miles. Watch out for the narrow stretches of road.
- After one mile at the traffic lights cross the single track Trewornan Bridge, and after a further 1 ½ miles of rather narrow lanes turn left to Rock. Follow the main road into the village (rumble paint and 30 mph sign before sharp left bend).
- Continue along Rock Road and pass:
- The PITYME INN on the left.
- St Minver School on the left.
- Parade of shops (SPAR, Fish & Chips, Drang Art Gallery) on the right,
followed by Lewis's Deli, Watt's Butchers and Rock Bakery.
- Pass TEXACO Clock Petrol Station on the left.
Parade of shops: Dining Room Restaurant, Estate Agents, Newsagents, and Fee's Food on the left.
Porthilly Lane on the left and
- The Rock Institute Village hall on the right.
The Road now swings right and left and then straightens out down to the sea. Turn RIGHT into Rock Villas / Green Lane and then turn RIGHT again into FORLAZE ROAD.
- SAHARA is the first house on the RIGHT hand side. It has a blue garage door. We usually reverse into the drive, as this is safer when driving out.
- The cpvered area helps with unloading.
