COLLARD BRIDGE CAMPSITE
Collard Bridge Camp Site is approached, via Barnstaple, from the A361 North Devon Link Road. On reaching the outskirts of the town, follow the signs for Ilfracombe. Turn right at the roundabout in front of the red brick Territorial Army HQ, still on the Ilfracombe road, and carry on to the traffic light controlled junction.
Approach the traffic lights in the right hand lane and turn right up the hill, heading towards Bratton Fleming. After leaving leaving Barnstaple you will pass the fork on the right for Goodleigh. Head down the hill and continue through the hamlet of Snapper. After leaving Snapper, look out for a house called ‘Riversmead’ on the left hand side of the road.
The lane to the camp site is on the left just past 'Riversmead' House. Go over two narrow bridges. The site entrance is on the left, immediately after the second bridge.
