Travelling to Keveral by Car from the East
Go through Plymouth on the main A38 (a continuation of the M5 after Exeter), over the Tamar Bridge and into Cornwall. Continue on the A38 for approximately 7 miles, through the villages of Landrake and Tideford, to Trerulefoot roundabout (one mile after Tideford).
Turn first left at the roundabout, and then right after 1 mile onto the A387 (both turns are sign-posted to Looe). Continue for 2 miles to the small village of Hessenford, past the pub on your right, and turn left immediately after the bridge, on to the B3247 to Seaton.
From central Plymouth, you can take the Torpoint Ferry over the Tamar River (free crossing into Cornwall), and take the A374. You can go the scenic way along the coast by turning left at Antony, then through the villages of Crafthole and Downderry to Seaton (small roads, not advisable for large vehicles). Or you can continue past Antony, then Sheviock and Polbathic, before taking the A387 Looe road to Hessenford, then turning left to Seaton. Going through Plymouth and Torpoint will add at least one hour to your journey compared to staying on the A38.
From Seaton, by road
Entering Seaton on the Hessenford road, you will see a car park on your left (just before the river and the beach). Turn right, opposite the car park, up Looe Hill, sign-posted to The Monkey Sanctuary (NOT Keveral Lane, which is also on your right, before Looe Hill).
Continue for one mile to the top of the hill, where the road bends to the right and levels out. Continue for another 300m, past houses on your left and right, and as the road turns sharply to the left, you will see the lane to Keveral on your right. Keveral Farm is half a mile further on. You pass our neighbour's house on your right, and immediately after is our car park on your right and our farmhouse in front of you. The lane is in poor condition, but not a problem if you drive slowly.
Travelling to Keveral by Car from the West
From Looe: take the B3253 heading towards Plymouth. After 2 miles, after an uphill stretch and with the road bearing to the left, (just before the village of Nomansland), turn right (take care, as this is an awkward junction). This is sign-posted to Seaton, also with signs to The Monkey Sanctuary.
Stay on this road for 1.5 miles, passing the turn off to the Monkey Sanctuary on your right, past Bokenver Farm on your left, and 200m further, as the road bends sharply to the right, you will see the lane to Keveral straight in front of you. Keveral Farm is half a mile further on. You pass our neighbour's house on your right, and immediately after is our car park on your right and our farmhouse in front of you. The lane is in poor condition, but not a problem if you drive slowly.
From Liskeard: take the A38 towards Plymouth, after 1 mile get onto the B3253 heading towards Looe, after 2 miles take a left turn up a narrow lane (follow 'Monkey Sanctuary' signs), then straight on at the crossroads. (The narrow lane is not suitable for large vehicles - continue to the next left turn, then take the next right). You pass Looe Golf Course on your left, and come into Nomansland. Turn right onto the Plymouth-Looe road, then left after 50 metres, left again at the T-junction, and then proceed as above.
Using a SatNav
If you use a SatNav for the route from Plymouth to Keveral, you should go via Saltash and Widegates. Otherwise, you may get sent through Plymouth and over the Torpoint Ferry (adding at least one hour to your journey), and then from Seaton you may get sent up the green lane through the woods (not accessible by vehicles).
