IMPORTANT UPDATE – Major Road Works A382: Getting to Burnham Nurseries from 10 August 2026

On 10th August the road from Newton Abbot will reopen. On the same day the road between Forches Cross and Stover School will be closed for a further 11-12 months. You will be able to get to the nursery as before along the A382 from Newton Abbot using the turning at Forches Cross left into Old Lane which will be open for the duration of the 2nd phase of works. Look out for yellow direction signs in the Newton Abbot area with “Orchid Paradise” on them.  Approacing from Newton Abbot/ Teignmouth/ Torbay follow diversion signs through Newton Abbot to A382. Approaching from Plymouth, exit the A38 at the A383 Newton Abbot turn off and follow the road into Newton Abbot and then follow the diversion signs to the A382.  Approaching from Exeter, where the road splits to Torquay/Plymouth, after Kenn take the left fork onto the A380 (Torquay) follow signs for A382 and then the diversion signs.  Approaching from Bovey Tracey, head out to Kingsteignton on Clay Pits Way then onto A382 (same as before closure) or head to Liverton and follow the lanes leading to the nursery (the route from Liverton is not recommended if you do not know the way).
