Lower Collipriest Farm - Tiverton

There has probably been a settlement at Collipriest since Saxon times. Collipriest means 'the wood where the charcoal-burners live' so Collipriest Farm is the farm near the wood where the charcoal-burners lived.

It is situated to the south of the market town of Tiverton or Twyfords on the river Exe near the joining of the two rivers the Exe and Lowman.

Meadows, formally sluice meadows possibly used for the wool trade, to flood the meadows with rushes of water to help in the softening of the wool run from the front of the farmhouse to the river and the woods, used in the charcoal burning, are at the rear.

The thatched farmhouse, a Scheduled building offers warm spacious twin bedded en suite bathrooms, a lounge with inglenook open fireplace, plus full central heating throughout, and tasty breakfasts and evening meals.

Views of Dartmoor and Exmoor can be enjoyed while walking over the farm. The river and pond are home to much wildlife and many plants.

We would enjoy showing you our farm - visiting the milking parlour to see the milking, watch calves being fed, silage and hay making and maize harvesting in season.
