Cottage rentals in Tiverton, Devon, England

Tiverton is just 10 minutes' drive from West Pitt Farm and offers a range of shops, markets and cafes and restuarants.   It is in the heart of rural Devon where two rivers, The Exe and Lowman meet and was once a thriving centre for the woollen industry.

The Grand Western Canal is well worth a visit for canal walks or a horse drawn barge trip.  Cycle hire is available too.  There is fishing, bird watching and the Devon Badger Watch locally.  At Knightshayes Court, a fine Vicgtorian house which is now a National Trust property, there are formal and woodland gardens, a kitchen garden and lots of events throughout the year for all the family to enjoy.
