Honiton is a market town and civil parish in East Devon, Devon, England, set beside the valley of the River Otter. It acts as a service hub for the surrounding countryside and sits within easy reach of the Jurassic Coast and the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, so it attracts day visitors and walkers as well as local shoppers.
Historically the town is famed for Honiton lace, a delicate bobbin-lace tradition that reached national prominence in the 19th century and was even used in Queen Victoria’s wedding veil; that craft heritage is still celebrated alongside a long-running market, antiques trade and independent shops. The modern economy mixes agriculture, light industry and services, while historic streets, community events and nearby countryside give the place a strong local character.
