| Tiverton - Historic Town Tiverton was once the industrial centre of Devon, mainly fabrics. The fine old merchants buildings in the town remain along with Tiverton Castle, worth a visit, and the canal which has boat trips, horse drawn. Buildings of note include St Peter's Church and the council offices. The town has a small, but busy, shopping centre, with some out of town shops. Local cinema. |
