Explore Tavistock and the beauty of Dartmoor

Tavistock is the largest town in West Devon, with architecture of local stone, a wide range of shops, a market, a riverside park, a leisure centre and a theatre. It is excellent for visitors both to see the town itself and as a base for exploring the surrounding countryside, Dartmoor, nearby villages of Devon and Eastern Cornwall, and various National Trust properties.

Tavistock has retained its 19th century Pannier Market and shop facades, which together with its fine public buildings and the Meadows recreational area give the town its character. In 2004 the town was chosen as the Best Market Town in England by the Daily Telegraph.

About 7 miles north of Tavistock lies the historic village of Lydford, and a further 8 miles brings you to the market town of Okehampton, close to the A30 and known as the Gateway to Cornwall.
