Devon County Guide
I live in Mid Devon, near Tiverton. Like many people in Crediton, Cullompton, Bampton, and the Exe Valley, I often need quick, reliable answers to everyday local questions—whether it’s checking bin collection days, finding the right contact for planning queries, getting hold of a trusted plumber, or looking up phone numbers for GP surgeries and Tiverton Hospital.
To be honest, I became frustrated with the official council and local websites. Finding simple information often meant dealing with broken links, slow pages, and confusing official language.
That’s why I created this site.
Established in 1996 under Global HQ, the aim of Devon County Guide is to provide straightforward, plain-English guides that get straight to the point. Below, you’ll find direct links and brief summaries for all the main Mid Devon services, local directories, healthcare access guides, and community resources. My hope is that residents and readers in our area will find this portal genuinely useful every day.
