Tiverton is a busy mid Devon market town situated north of Exeter on the A396. Standing on two rivers, the Lowman and the Exe, Tiverton once used this as a source of power for its woollen industry. On the outskirts of Exmoor and close to the M5. Tiverton is ideally placed for both business and tourism. Close to the fantastic coasts of North Devon and Barnstaple, even closer to the amazing shops of Exeter and Plymouth. |

Tiverton is situated on the slope of a hill above the confluence of the Exe and the Lowman, hence its name, "Twyfordton" - the town by the two fords. A handsome stone bridge leads to the large suburb of West Exe. Tiverton has existed from the Saxon times through many vicissitudes, and is now a well-built and flourishing town. Its chief architectural features are the parish church of St Peter, the town hall, and the free grammar school. The woollen trade has declined since the 17th century, and the chief industry now is lace-making. A canal connects the locality with the river Tone. Tiverton returned 2 members to Parliament from the time of James I. until 1885.
