Newton Abbot is described in various tourist literature as a ‘lively, bustling market town’. The Town Council is committed to ensuring that, having been a market town since 1220 that its controlled growth will continue to the benefit of its current and future residents. Newton Abbots continued prominence as a bustling town is also equally important to the surrounding rural villages.
The Town enjoys a strategic position on the main railway line to London, Penzance and The North and excellent trunk road and motorway connections, situated off the A380 Exeter to Torquay Road. Newton Abbot is often known as the Gateway to Moor and Sea because of its closeness to Dartmoor National Park and the coastal resorts of Torquay and Teignmouth.
The Town has much to be proud of, St Leonard’s Tower; Decoy Country Park and numerous other town parks; Forde House; the Town Quay; six allotment areas; excellent primary and secondary schools; Museum and Railway museum; a leisure centre; a new hospital recently constructed; and the Racecourse.
The Town is delighted with the recently completed redevelopment of the Pannier Market and the Wolborough Street redevelopment which enhances Newton Abbot’s unique atmosphere as a Regional Shopping Centre.
