Getting to us
Kelly Mine is on the A382 about 500
yds towards Bovey Tracey from the Lustleigh junction.
Parking is in the Lustleigh show field.
From the A382 Bovey Tracey to Moretonhampstead road take the road to
Lustleigh from Kelly Cross (SX 790819). After about 300 yds turn left
into the parking field at SX 790817 and drive to the far end of the
field. The path to the mine will be signed and is a walk of about 250
yds with one high stile and a stream to cross. After heavy rain the
parking field may be soft and unsuitable for large vehicles. The access
path and mine site can be muddy after heavy rain.
Less able bodied visitors may be dropped off on the main road outside
the mine. There is no parking on the site.
