PUDDINGTON is a village near the source of the River Creedy, graced on all sides by blissful, undeveloped countryside. It creates a triangle with the market towns of Crediton (8 miles to the south) and Tiverton (7 miles to the east) – each with an up to date choice of shopping, educational and leisure facilities. Puddington is thought to have Saxon origins, and blossomed to life when Devon formed part of ‘Wessex’. The village name may have evolved from ‘Putta’s Tun’, a farmstead or settlement belonging to ‘Putta’, a Saxon chief. Moving forward in time, it is well known that the Puddington of today is a calm and attractive place – with a core of classically Devonian thatched cottages, and a welcoming, yet close-knit community. In essence, it is the epitome of a country getaway.

CREDITON : An ancient market town, with a contemporary feel – only a short, 20-minute drive NW from the city of Exeter. Set in the Vale of the River Creedy, amongst gentle, rolling hills and verdant pastures. Sincerely picture postcard. Once the capital of Devon, Crediton is famed for its inspiring sandstone church and for being the birthplace of Saint Boniface in 680 AD. Its high street is a vibrant place, abuzz with trade –artisan coffee shops, roaring pubs, a farmers’ market and bakeries, jam-packed with mouthwatering delights. For those commuting it has hassle free transport links into Exeter and for schooling a prestigious community college (Queen Elizabeth’s) – with an Ofsted “outstanding” sixth form. In addition, it boasts a brilliant gym & leisure centre for New Year’s resolutions, two supermarkets for the weekly shop and a trading estate for any practical needs. All neatly held in a single valley.

TIVERTON is a market town in Mid Devon with a wide range of amenities, with a range of shops, recreational and educational facilities, as well as superb travel links to Exeter and Taunton via the North Devon link road, the M5 accessible from here via junction 27.
