About Honiton - show infohide info
Honiton is a town in Devon, England. Mentioned in the Domesday Book as Honetone, meaning a farmstead of a man called Huna. Honiton is situated on the River Otter, 17 miles North east of Exeter. An important market town known for its lace and its Honiton pottery. It has a population about 11,200. Honiton more than doubled in size between the 1960s and 2005 with most development happening south of the Exeter to Waterloo Station (London)railway line. The size of Honiton in 2005 was approximately 3.2 km². Further development will be limited as Honiton borders the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) to the south and the Blackdown Hills AONB to the north and east. AONBs have the same level of protection as National parks of England and Wales which restricts new developments. Honiton is a mecca for antique hunters, boasting around 30 antique shops. It is also historically renowned for lace making, but no longer upkeeps this tradition. There are still indications of it's history, such as 'Lace Walk' and the 'Honiton Lace Shop'. However the shop now trades by appointment only and via the internet. It has been converted to the restaurant 'Merletto' - which is Italian for 'lace'. Nearby towns include Exeter, Taunton, Yeovil, Lyme Regis, Sidmouth and Exmouth.
