Totnes is a bustling and historic market town, full of colour, character, and charm. Widely regarded as one of Devon's hidden gems, it enjoys a rich cultural, historical, and archaeological heritage, which is reflected in its vibrant high street, architecture, and community spirit. The town offers an excellent range of independent shops, galleries, cafés, restaurants, and recreational facilities, along with weekly markets and a strong artistic scene.

The town has a mainline railway station with direct services to London Paddington, and the A38 Devon Expressway is approximately 6 miles away, providing quick access to Exeter, Plymouth, and the wider national road network. Its superb connectivity, combined with an engaging lifestyle and stunning surrounding countryside, makes Totnes one of the most desirable towns in the South West.
