Axminster is a small market town on the eastern border of Devon, built on a hill overlooking the River Axe. The town gave its name to a type of carpet created by a power loom capable of weaving numerous colours and patterns, invented in 1775 by Thomas Whitty. Carpet is still manufactured in Axminster, a town that is rich in rural character.
