Grade II-listed bridge over the Grand Western Canal just outside Tiverton. Lovely peaceful spot.

Using the power of moving water to drive a mill wheel is an ancient invention of the human spirit of discovery, the origins of which can be traced back to times long past. Thanks to such a construction, human or animal muscle power could be easily replaced by the power of the natural elements through a watercourse - natural or artificially created - in order to grind grain into corn or press oil from fruit, for example. There are essentially two different ways of driving watermills: * Either the flowing water simply hits the blades of the water wheel from below to set it in motion; or * the water is guided above the wheel - usually through a so-called "mill channel" - and falls onto the blades; this type of construction is more efficient due to natural gravity.

Bickleigh Mill is an 18th century water mill which is still working to this day. The Mill is now also home to shops and eateries. With its gorgeous riverside location it is a lovely place to start or finish a walk, or stop partway along to refuel.

Great place for lunch or a Devon cream tea (cream first, jam on top - the proper way - this is Devon!). There's also a gift shop adjoining.

Steep climb, but it's only short!

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.

Designed by Henry Lloyd, Tiverton Town Hall was open in 1864. It was built by Samuel Garth, Mayor of Tiverton from 1861 to 1862. The pale stone building houses many old paintings of royalty, former politicians and Royal Navy ships.
