Our home ground is opposite the Royal Marines Commando Training Centre in Lympstone, near Exmouth. The ground is extremely easy to find and only takes about 10 minutes from Exeter (less if your in Welshy's car). Pick up the A376 from near the M5 services in Exeter and follow the signs to Exmouth. When you reach the Commando Training Centre (you'll see the barbed wire on top of the fence on the right hand side of the road) TURN LEFT. Go past the massive car park and take the next turning on the right. You will enter into a small car park (where you will be able to see the pitch and clubhouse).

The ground has two football pitches and changing / shower facilities for both home and away teams and match officials. It also has a large floodlit astro and cricket square.
