For a change of pace, the historic city of Exeter offers an impressive cathedral, museum, the underground passages, riverside walks along the Quayside, and excellent shopping and dining opportunities. Mid Devon is perfectly placed for exploring the dramatic landscapes of both Dartmoor and Exmoor, with countless walking and cycling routes to discover. Devon's north and south coasts are also within easy reach, making Brambly Cabin an excellent base from which to experience the very best of the county.

A busy market town 8.5 miles north west of the cathedral city of Exeter, and situated in an area of Devon known as “Red Devon” so called because of the distinctive red soil which is of prime agricultural quality, and excellent for growing swedes. This is a rural area of Devon which is tranquil, unspoilt and where ruby cattle are seen grazing amongst the rolling green meadows. There are many scattered villages with welcoming inns, well stocked farm shops and friendly locals. Crediton has a wide range of shops selling gifts and groceries, a fabulous farmers’ market, modern leisure centre and plenty of family friendly pubs. Crediton is less than 10 miles from Dartmoor National Park which provides excellent walking and horse riding opportunities and a half hour drive from the beautiful city of Exeter where there are theatres, stunning cathedral, shopping malls, and historic quay with waterfront cafes, antique shops and bars.
