Directions
Totnes Rare Breeds Farm
South Devon steam train , Totnes, Devon, TQ9 5JR, England
The farm is an easy, short walk from the nearest car parking in Totnes and easily wheelchair accessible. Just follow the signs for the South Devon Railway, which is next to the farm.
By road:
We advise parking at the Pavilion Leisure Centre (TQ9 5XW) where you only pay for as long as you need. Follow the footpath that runs alongside the playing fields down to the bottom of the mainline train station. There the footpath turns right down to the river where you turn left and head over the bridge to the South Devon Railway and we're on the other side of the tracks...it's only a short walk and a pleasant one.
You can also park at the mainline train station (TQ9 5JR) but please be aware that you have to pay for an all day ticket.
PLEASE DO NOT follow Google directions as these will leave you stranded in the middle of the countryside.
By train: The mainline station is Totnes
Follow signs from the station down to the river and across to the farm
By steam train:
South Devon Railway runs trains from Buckfastleigh (where there is free parking) and Staverton. The farm is on the other side of the tracks at Totnes.
