Modern Tiverton has much to offer in the way of leisure activities with a museum, plenty of footpaths along the trackbed of the old railway, the Tivoli cinema, a new leisure centre with swimming pool and gym and a country park, which was created from the Grand Western Canal. There is plenty of good shopping, too, with both high street multiples and small independent shops.
