A family-friendly museum with plenty of interactivity for children, the Tiverton Museum of Mid Devon Life offers an unrivalled look at how local communities developed. Featuring the Tivvy Bumper, a GWR steam engine, this museum is a popular day trip.

Mid Devon is largely rural but has a complex and impressive history in industries from mining to lace making. You'll learn about historical agriculture practices and see for yourself how the county's little communities sustained themselves despite their remote locations.
