Old Mill Court Local Area

Set amid beautiful scenery, Tiverton is a really attractive, bustling market town situated where the River Exe and River Lowman meet.

The surrounding mid-Devon countryside is spectacular and particularly suited for those who enjoy the outdoor lifestyle, with many opportunities for walking, cycling, riding and water-based sports.

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 sightseeing opportunities. Beach lovers have the choice of the wide and open expanses of the north coast surfing beaches or the sheltered and 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 easyaccess 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 also easily accessible.

Facilities within the town include a modern and well appointed leisure centre, providing two swimming pools, extensive gymnasium facilities, tennis courts and skateboard park. On the edge of town is a recently completed hospital, allowing Tiverton residents to receive outpatient and inpatient care close to home. Choices for schooling are excellent, with a number of primary schools within Tiverton and the surrounding villages. Tiverton High School and 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 from pre-prep to sixth form.
