• On foot: The Dart Valley Trail from Kingswear or Dartmouth, the Torbay Dart Link from Brixham and the Village Walk from Galmpton all pass the garden.
• By road: Follow the A3022 between Paignton and Brixham and look for brown signs for both Greenway Ferry and the Gardens when you turn into Galmpton. From Galmpton the gardens are well signposted.
  No parking is available on the road roads around the garden so you MUST book a parking space. Without one, you will be turned away.
  When booking, an alternate route might be suggested to you through the country village of Stoke Gabriel. DO NOT follow this route. The roads are both poorly signposted and very narrow. Any small gains you might make in time are negated by the awkwardness of the route.
