Tiverton is a market town in Mid Devon, Devon, England, tucked into a loop of the River Exe with the smaller River Lowman joining nearby. Its setting includes the towpaths and peaceful picnic spots of the Grand Western Canal Country Park, and the town sits within easy commuting distance of Tiverton Parkway railway station on the mainline to Exeter and London.
Historically driven by the wool and later lace industries - most famously the 19th‑century works of John Heathcoat - Tiverton still shows its industrial heritage in the town centre and at the Tiverton Museum. Landmarks include the remains of the medieval Tiverton Castle, the parish church, and nearby National Trust house Knightshayes, while schools such as Blundell’s School, a bustling pannier market and a mix of light industry, tourism and agriculture shape the town’s economy and community life.
