Bus Information

Stagecoach Bus 373 (destination Cullompton) leave from the stop outside the station building at 09:08 10:08 11:08 .  Journey time approximately 10 minutes.  When the bus enters Uffculme village it turns left and you want the first stop after the bus has turned.   Get off the bus and cross the road and walk down Russet Close.  You will see Coldharbour Mill which is a few minutes walk.

Return buses leave from the opposite side of the road (destination Tiverton) at 16:15 17:15.   The buses do a double run into the village on each journey so do not be troubled by seeing your bus pass by a few months earlier going the opposite way!
