Silverton is a compact village in the district of Mid Devon in the county of Devon, England, sitting on the ridge above the valley of the River Exe a short drive from Exeter. It has a well-preserved historic core of stone cottages and a medieval parish church, with remnants of 19th-century landscaping around Silverton Park that add to the village’s picturesque setting.
Today Silverton combines a largely rural economy of farming and small businesses with a commuter population, while an active community life - including a primary school, local shops, pubs and regular village events - keeps the social scene lively; the surrounding lanes and footpaths are popular with walkers exploring the rolling Devon countryside.
