CREDITON
is a busy "market" town, with a resident population
of about 6,000 and serves as a focal point for shopping and
scholastic purposes for an additional 15,000 people living in
the nearby villages. The town has good local shops, a large
supermarket, excellent schools, mainstream Churches and boasts
an 18-hole golf course, as well as a leisure center with state-of-the-art
swimming pool. The town has many other recreational facilities
including association-football, rugby-football, bowls, whilst
at Stanford (about a mile distant) is cricket with a newly constructed
clubhouse.
The
rail-station, about 3/4 mile from the town center, is on the
well known "Tarka" line, and also provides a good
service with links to London and other major cities. The M-5
is within 20 miles (via Tiverton). The town is therefore ideally
placed in mid-Devon.
