WHY WE LOVE...

Newton Abbot

In 1846, the South Devon Railway graced Newton Abbot, transforming it from a quaint market town into a bustling hub of communication and industry. The addition of branch lines to Torquay in 1848 and Moretonhampstead in 1866 further solidified Newton Abbot as a prime location for industrial progress.

The town’s modern landscape bears the charming imprints of this period, with noteworthy features like Courtenay Park and Devon Square—both elegant Victorian developments—and Mackrell’s Almshouses along Totnes Road. St Leonard’s Tower, situated in the town centre, stands as a historic remnant of a church demolished in 1836. 

Delve into the town’s rich history, with a special focus on Brunel and the Great Western Railway, showcased in an excellent museum. Today, Newton Abbot flourishes as a significant shopping and commercial centre, the largest in South Devon.

You’ll find familiar superstores, high street names, and a thriving industrial and financial sector. 

Market days on Wednesday and Saturday, which include an indoor pannier market, add to the town’s vibrant atmosphere. Don’t miss the weekly farmers’ market on Tuesdays in Courtenay Street and the annual Cheese and Onion Fair.
