Holiday Properties in Honiton

It's nice to spend a morning or an afternoon pottering about in Honiton, looking in the shops, stopping for a bite to eat and a cup of tea.This small East Devon town has a long wide High Street lined with elegant Georgian buildings and interesting largely independent shops; there are several art galleries and antique/bric-a-brac shops worth a pootle round, and some very good places to eat in and around the town. Honiton was once a major post on the stagecoach route from Exeter to London and is renowned for the huge part it played in the lace making trade, mainly because Queen Victoria’s wedding gown was made from Honiton lace.

If you're organised you can have a pottery painting session at Honiton Pottery and see the latest art exhibition at The Thelma Hulbert Gallery, then go and have lunch at The Holt at the bottom of town.

If you’re in Honiton in July you should stick around for Hot Pennies Day, when following an age old tradition, warmed pennies are thrown from windows in the town to the crowds below; in August every year Honiton Agricultural Show is held as it has been for over 125 years, still drawing thousands of visitors.
