Devonshire Rise Local Area

The thriving market town of Tiverton is set amidst the beautiful mid-Devon countryside, yet is in easy driving distance of both the North and South coasts of Devon, with their spectacular beaches and cliff top walks. The Exmoor National Park is just a short drive away, where the fabulous scenery and a whole host of outdoor pursuits can be enjoyed throughout the year.

Despite the rural location, fast road links to Taunton, Exeter, Barnstaple and beyond make Tiverton an ideal location for commuting further afield. Intercity rail links to London Paddington are available from nearby Tiverton Parkway station and from Taunton.

Schooling facilities in Tiverton are excellent, with a wide choice of primary schools, a well regarded secondary school, a technical college and Blundell’s school all situated within walking distance of Devonshire Rise.

Recent enhancements to Tiverton town centre include a new M&S Simply Food, two large supermarkets and a state of the art leisure centre with swimming pools and gym. There has also been a superb refurbishment of the historic pannier market, where a regular Farmer’s Market is held and there is also a variety of stalls offering a wide range of goods and locally sourced food.
