| The
historic market town of Tavistock nestles on the western edge of
Dartmoor within the Tamar Valley Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Shopping in the wide range of small, individual shops makes a
refreshing change from the usual high street chain stores and there
are many cafes and restaurants to relieve the weary shopper. The river
Tavy runs behind the main street and you can follow its
course
past the pretty weir and through the Park with its beautiful open
spaces, canal, swimming pool, tennis courts, bowling green and the
Wharf Theatre and Cinema. The Town is worth visiting for its own sake
but is also ideally situated for touring both in Devon and Cornwall.
Many tourist attractions lie within easy driving distance including; |
