From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Willand is a village in Mid-Devon, England, within the Mid-Devon local authority area. It is about 19 km (12 miles) north of Exeter and 11 km (7 miles) east of Tiverton. In 1991 the population was 3750 although recently this has grown considerably. The National Grid reference for the centre of the area is ST035104.

Willand has probably had a settlement since the Iron Age but is first recorded in 1042 as having "belonged to Ethmar". It historically formed part of the Halberton Hundred.

There is one pub, The Halfway House, and a country manor, situated next to Diggerland, called the Verbeer Manor.
