Moorhayes Park Local Area

Positioned in a beautiful rural location on the outskirts of Tiverton, Moorhayes Park is the perfect choice for those who appreciate the finer things in life.

Exmoor National Park is only a short drive away, which is an outstanding area for enjoying country pursuits, whilst for the less energetic there are plenty of sight seeing opportunities. Beach lovers have the choice of the wide and open expanses of the north coast surfing beaches or the sheltered picturesque coves of the south coast beaches; both are within easy driving distance of Tiverton.

Despite the rural location, Tiverton enjoys fast road and rail links with many major towns and cities; the North Devon Link Road bypasses the town providing easy access to the M5 and onwards to Bristol, Exeter and further afield. The mainline station is about 7 miles to the east of Tiverton and trains to London take just over two hours. Exeter Airport - from where there are many convenient domestic and international flights - is a 30-minute drive away and the cross channel ferry port at Plymouth is easily accessible.

There is a modern, spacious and well-appointed leisure centre in the town, providing two swimming pools, extensive gymnasium facilities and tennis courts. On the edge of the town there is a brand new hospital, which enables Tiverton residents to receive outpatient and inpatient care without having to travel far from home. Choices for schooling are excellent, with a number of primary schools within Tiverton and the surrounding villages. Tiverton High School and the East Devon College share a campus and between them provide secondary schooling, sixth form studies and vocational training. The historic Blundell’s School provides private education for children aged from pre-prep to 18.

There is a very pleasant town centre, with national chain stores intermingled with a wide variety of locally owned and individual shops.

Tiverton is an attractive and bustling market town situated where the River Exe and the River Lowman meet. The surrounding mid-Devon countryside is spectacularly beautiful and particularly suited for those who enjoy the outdoor lifestyle, with many opportunities for walking, cycling, riding and water-based sports.
