Staying in the Heart of Devon enables you to experience real Devon hospitality
in an area of gently sloping hills, patchwork fields and pretty villages.
All corners of the county can be explored from this central region and
there is a huge variety of things to see and do right here on your doorstep.
The cathedral city of Exeter has a fascinating history and is a lively
cultural centre with its university and its combination of ancient and
modern buildings. The recently redeveloped quay has a variety of craft
and antique shops. Boats and bikes can be hired to enable you to explore
further along the canal.
Tiverton, on the River Exe, and winner of a Best Market
Town award has a fascinating museum of local history. Crediton has
some good specialist shops and the ancient church of St Boniface. Many
of the towns in the Heart of Devon have regular farmer’s markets
where you can sample local produce for which the region is rightly
famous.
There are many village pubs and restaurants with excellent food and
local cider and ale. Killerton and Knightshayes are two National Trust
properties in the area, both fascinating houses with wonderful gardens.
Children are well catered for at Diggerland, Quad World and Crealy Adventure
Park and there are excellent golf courses and plenty of fishing opportunities.
In the Heart of Devon you are never too far away from Exmoor and Dartmoor
or from either the North and South coasts.
