   Halberton is a large rural Parish in the County of Devon between the towns of Tiverton and Cullompton, close 
to the city of Exeter.  Outside the village are several small communities and the hamlets of Ash Thomas and
Brithem Bottom.  We are also lucky to have The Grand Western Canal which meanders through the Parish 
and is a designated Country Park.
