Discover Crediton: A charming Devon market town, rich in history and surrounded by stunning landscapes, perfect for car-free exploration
Nestled in the heart of Devon, the historic market town of Crediton offers a delightful escape for those travelling without a car. This vibrant community, once the birthplace of St Boniface, boasts a rich spiritual heritage, evident in its magnificent Holy Cross Church, a truly impressive Perpendicular Gothic building well worth a visit.
Stroll through the town’s centre to find charming independent shops and cafes, or time your visit for the bustling Crediton Farmers’ Market, held on the first and third Saturdays, where you can sample delicious local produce. The surrounding Creedy Valley provides a picturesque backdrop for gentle walks, with Shobrooke Park offering tranquil grounds for a leisurely afternoon.
Crediton’s excellent rail links make it an ideal base for further adventures. Take a scenic train journey to the historic city of Exeter, just seven miles away, for its cathedral and vibrant quay, or head towards the dramatic, untamed beauty of Dartmoor National Park, less than ten miles from Crediton’s northern fringes.
