About

Crediton is a market town in Mid Devon set along the banks of the River Creedy. Its street pattern and stone buildings reflect a long history as a local trading centre, and a weekly market still takes place in the town centre. Records and local collections link Crediton to the early medieval figure Boniface, who was born here; the Boniface Museum presents material on that association alongside broader local history. The river and small bridges are part of the town’s layout and influence how streets and lanes meet the centre.

The surrounding area is a mix of pasture, cider orchards and small woodlands that run down to the river valley. Walking routes radiate from the town along field lanes and hedgerows, and there are regular community events held in the market square and at the town hall. Local services include independent shops, a railway station on the regional line and sports facilities that serve the wider parish. Crediton functions as a focal point for nearby villages while retaining a compact town centre and a clear link to its early medieval past.
