Tiverton

Tiverton may refer to several places, most prominently Tiverton, a market town in Devon, England, on the River Exe. It is the administrative centre of the Mid Devon district and lies in a rural setting between Exeter and the Exe Valley. The town developed in the Middle Ages as a wool and trade centre and retains a historic streetscape centered on the market square. Notable landmarks include Tiverton Castle, a Norman fortress overlooking the town, and the parish church of St Peter. The nearby Grand Western Canal, opened in the 19th century, connected Tiverton with Taunton and broadened trade; today much of the canal forms part of the Grand Western Canal Country Park.

Tiverton is served by road and rail links with Exeter and the wider region. Tiverton Parkway railway station, on the Great Western Main Line, provides regional services and connections to London via Reading. The town today has a mixed economy focused on services, light industry, and agriculture, with town center shopping, local markets, and nearby farms.

There is also Tiverton, Rhode Island, a town in Newport County, United States. Located on the Sakonnet River and the south coast of Rhode Island, Tiverton comprises coastal villages and rural areas with beaches, marinas, and farms. It forms part of the Providence metropolitan area but maintains a distinct New England town character.
