Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 156 reviews
Tiverton Museum of Mid Devon Life is a treasure trove of fascinating objects and quirky artefacts that weave incredible stories about the people who lived here. The museum has extensive permanent displays, and a lively events and exhibition programme. The museum is proud to be family friendly. It is located in the heart of Tiverton, right next to the Beck's Square short stay car park, the bus station and only a few minutes from the long stay car park. We recommend that you pre-book and ask that you adhere to 2m social distancing and wear a face covering when visiting the museum.

We visited Tiverton Museum recently - for the first time in about 30 yrs... What a marvellous place it is now - after its huge extension & refurb. What transformation! Fantastic displays of everything from ancient farm equipment to a giant net-making loom, from the Heathcoat factory. And, of course standing on the footplate of the Tivvy Bumper steam engine is a wonderful treat! (You can even press a button to hear steam noises - and pull the chain to hear that iconic whistle!) If you are visiting the area - or haven't visited the museum for a while - I am sure you will find the £5.50 entrance fee very good value - enjoy!!

I was very cynical arrival about how we’d spend 3 hours here as it looked very small but I was proved wrong! We spent a lovely afternoon enjoying train rides, gnome spotting, playing mini golf, exploring the play areas and enjoying the model village and play carriages. My 3 year old absolutely loved it, very pleased to have made the trip. Lovely pub called the Fisherman’s cot just over the river too which was nice for a quick drink after!
6. Grand Western Canal
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 371 reviews
The Grand Western Canal Country Park meanders through 11 1/4 miles of beautiful mid-Devon countryside between Tiverton and Lowdwells (near the Somerset border). Declared a Country Park in 1971 and a Local Nature Reserve in 2005, the canal is a wonderfully relaxing place for a peaceful walk or cycle ride along the towpath, or even take a ride onboard the much-loved horse-drawn barge that has been taking passengers for trips along the canal since 1974. The abundance of wildlife and scenic landscape that characterise the Canal today make it a great place to enjoy walking, cycling, boating, fishing and picnics.

The Tiverton canal is lovely for a relaxing ,scenic walk on a Sunday afternoon or anytime. The Canal tea shop sells fabulous ice creams, and other food and drinks, but closes from beginning of october until mothering sunday .I often go walking here. it suits the more avid walker as well as walks can be relatively short or long and there is the option of a horse drawn barge trip during the summer months
