There is a wealth of history and folklore, beautiful churches and a thriving pannier market which is open for business on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Good independent shops make it a delight to shop for delicious local produce, practical things for your holiday or wonderful gifts to take home with you.
There is a horse drawn barge on the Great Western Canal for a novel way to travel; Tiverton Castle with its fascinating Civil War history welcomes visitors too and the town is home to the well-known, independent school of Blundell’s. The rural way of life is celebrated and shared with everyone each year at the Mid Devon Show on the outskirts of the town at the wonderful National Trust property of Knightshayes.
