Welcome to Crediton, a charming market town nestled in the heart of Devon! This place is a treasure trove of history, character, and natural beauty. Picture this: a town that traces its roots back to the Saxon period, where the echoes of the past resonate in its heritage sites and architecture. Crediton is the birthplace of Saint Boniface, a significant figure in the Christian history of Europe. And the town's rich history with the wool trade? It's still visible in the character of the buildings that line our streets.

Now, let's talk about location. Crediton sits comfortably on the banks of the River Creedy, surrounded by rolling hills and lush farmland. But don't let the tranquillity fool you. We're just a short hop from the vibrant Cathedral City of Exeter, giving you the best of both worlds - peace and proximity.

If you're an outdoor enthusiast, you're going to love it here. With Dartmoor National Park on your doorstep, you'll have endless opportunities for hiking, cycling, and exploring the beautiful Devon countryside. And for those lazy sunny afternoons? Our parks and gardens are perfect for picnics, and the lakes at Shobrooke Park are just waiting for you to stroll around.

Fancy a unique day out? Hop on the Tarka Line Railway. This journey takes you through the picturesque Devon countryside, offering beautiful views of rivers and farmland. It's a hit with both tourists and locals and a great way to spend a day with the family.

Education is a big deal in Crediton. We've got a range of schools, from Landscore Primary School to Haywards Primary School and Queen Elizabeth’s School, each offering unique educational experiences for your little ones.
