It's either just east or just west of Exeter -- can't recall off the top
of my head.  I think just east of Exeter, so closer to London than
hypothetical Chudley (Chudleigh).  You can probably find an online
source that will give you the exact distance from London or whatever if
you need that.

And, now a question of my own for fanfic purposes -- how would the
Fidelius charm be performed and who would/would not be present?  Would
anyone other than the Potters and Pettigrew have been present?
Would/could Sirius Black have been there?  How would it have worked
exactly?  For example, would Lily (charms being her specialty from what
we know) have performed the charm herself?  Or, would the Potters as the
recipients so to speak have needed a 4th person to actually place the
charm on themselves & Pettigrew?  We know Dumbledore wasn't there when
it was performed as he doesn't know about the switch; neither does
Remus.  Does this lead one to the conclusion that only the Potters &
Pettigrew were present or is there room for conjecture that Black
himself might have been there?  Any thoughts???  PoA is not exactly
specific on this point -- any conjecture or theories welcome!
