One of the oldest boroughs in Devon, Totnes has numerous places of interest, castles, and historic architecture such as the renowned half-timber framed Merchant’s House housing the town museum, and the Guildhall, a charming ancient stone building. The vibrant city center hosts the nicest antique shops, boutiques, silversmiths, restaurants, and street entertainers. The narrow High Street is dotted with houses of wealthy merchants dating back to the 16th to 17th century. At the top of the street, the porticoed frontages of the arcaded Butterwalk form a pleasantly covered walkway. One of the finest churches of Devon, the parish church of St. Mary is located in the middle of High Street. The church has a tall west tower, arcades, and an impressive roof. Its most striking feature is its superb stone screen (circa 1460), which is rivaled only by Exeter Cathedral. Planning a trip to Totnes?
