CREDITON The old Mid Devon market town of Crediton provides visitors and locals alike with an excellent range of shops, restaurants, cafes, arts & crafts. The beautiful old sandstone Church of the Holy Cross stands in the middle of the town and is steeped in history dating back to 739AD. There is a modern leisure centre offering excellent sporting facilities including a large public swimming pool, squash courts, gyms, etc. The area is well served with public transport with buses and a railway line linking many of the surrounding villages and towns, including the cathedral city of Exeter which lies about 8 miles to the south east. The town itself is surrounded by stunning countryside, with the rivers Creedy and Yeo flowing close by. Much of this countryside is agricultural, with the many farms supplying local outlets with their fine food and drink, many items being organic. Crediton was the birth place of St Boniface in 680AD, his influence is said to have been responsible for the founding of a monastery in the area around 739AD.

To the northeast and southwest of Crediton lie the magnificent national parks of Exmoor and Dartmoor offering excellent country pursuits including horse riding, walking and fishing. The spectacular cliffs of the north Devon coastline are within a short drive and are renowned for their long sandy beaches, attracting numerous walkers and surfers. The south coast has many pretty maritime towns including Dartmouth, Teignmouth, and Exmouth, plus the lively English Riviera which includes Torquay, Paignton and Brixham.
