Cycle to Tiverton and into the town. Tiverton has one of the few left horse drawn barges for tourists to ride on.
The town is nothing spectacular but it has a costa for coffee. We had a walkabout then back up to the canal. It has a lovely thatched tea room that we may visit while here.
There is also a cute tea room barge called The Ducks Ditty? Next to it is the smallest ferry I have ever seen.
Whilst cycling along the canal we noticed a large model of a Heron and a garden full of Gnomes.

There is a kids playground, a football pitch coffee bar and shop. Also you can book pitches as the below sign shows.

This site is very well maintained as you can see from the toilet cleaning schedule and has a no dog rule from the first of March.
