HONITON

Honiton, Devon

Close to Devon's border with Somerset, delightful Honiton has been long famous for its lace, pottery and glove making, and is frequently labelled the antiques capital of Devon.

The town's attractive buildings, mainly late Georgian, are all individually decorated in a number of period styles ranging from sculptural to functional, and provide a great backdrop for all-inspiring places in which to shop by providing exciting visions for decorating your home or business in the 21st Century.

Getting there: Honiton is just 15 minutes from the M5 at Exeter, and on the A30/A303 trunk road from London.

Parking: The wide High Street offers parking along both sides, although this is limited on market days; there are also two large paid-for car parks suitably located behind the main street.
