Tavistock

Tavistock is a stannary town in western Devon, nestled in a Dartmoor valley. It is a charming, thriving market town, considered the capital of Dartmoor. The town stands on the River Tavy, from which its name derives, and runs with rocks and rapids from north-east to south-west through the town. The heart of the town stands all on the north side of the river.

Tavistock serves as the principal town for a wide area, with many small outlying villages and farms. It is popular with holiday-makers, many exploring Dartmoor and the Tamar Valley.
