The Grand Western Canal meanders through beautiful mid-Devon countryside and quiet villages between Tiverton and Lowdwells (near the Somerset border).
Declared a Country Park in 1971 and a Local Nature Reserve in 2005, the Canal is a wonderfully relaxing place to enjoy the rich heritage of yesteryear, and the profusion of wildlife and scenic landscape that characterise the Canal today.
Extending for eleven and a quarter miles, the Canal provides a wonderful location to enjoy walking, cycling, boating, fishing and picnics. The Canal Basin in Tiverton is where you can find cafes, a visitor centre and gift shop and the horsedrawn barge which has been carrying passengers for trips along the canal since 1974.
