Tiverton, Devon

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

A market town in mid-Devon, at the confluence of the Exe and Lowman rivers. Tiverton was founded around the year 650 AD as a royal estate. The town grew to become a centre for the woollen industry, but since 1819 has been known for its lace making. In the centre of town is Tiverton Castle, built by Henry I in 1109, and added to during the Middle Ages. Today it is a romantic combination of house and historic ruin, complete with a ghost legend. There are two sets of 16th century almshouses, and a medieval earthwork known as Cranmore Castle. Two miles away is Knightshayes Court, a Victorian Gothic mansion set in lovely gardens.
