About Stitch Fest South West

Newton Abbot is a town located in the Teignbridge District of the county of Devon, England. Its population was 24,029 in 2011 and estimated at 26,655 in 2019. The town experienced rapid development during the Victorian era, particularly due to the South Devon Railway industry, which became a major diesel locomotive maintenance workshop until 1981. It now houses the Brunel industrial estate. Newton Abbot is near an hippodrome, the westernmost in England, and a nature reserve, Decoy. The town is twinned with Besigheim in Germany and Ay in France, and its official website can be accessed at www.newtonabbot-tc.gov.uk.
