Tiverton
England, United Kingdom
Tiverton is a historic market town in Mid Devon, England, situated at the confluence of the Rivers Exe and Lowman, serving as the district's commercial and administrative hub with a population around 20,000.
Its history stretches back to Anglo-Saxon times, with Norman roots including Tiverton Castle built by Henry I in 1106 as a motte-and-bailey fortress, later adapted into a fortified manor house that housed medieval Earls of Devon and survived a Civil War cannon strike.
The town boomed during the Industrial Revolution thanks to John Heathcoat's lace-making factory in 1815, boosted by the Grand Western Canal in 1814 and railway arrival in 1848, while today it offers attractions like the Tiverton Museum of Mid Devon Life, canal walks, and nearby Knightshayes Court.
