The real draw is outside the town centre. Knightshayes, rated 4.7 from over 4,000 reviews, tops the list of things to do. The Tiverton Canal Co and Devon Railway Centre are both rated 4.7, offering different ways to explore the area's transport heritage. The Tiverton Museum and Tiverton Castle round out the historical interests, while Happy Glaze Pottery—rated exceptionally high at 4.9—is worth a visit if you're looking for something hands-on. These attractions cluster around the town rather than filling its centre, so you'll want transport or sturdy legs.
