Things to do near Tavistock

Oozing with history, rural charm and with easy access to some of the areas unbelievable countryside, there is no shortage of things to do in and around Tavistock.  

You won’t find retail giants and national chains here so why not spend a day meandering Tavistock’s narrow streets, popping in and out of the independent stores and boutiques. Really immerse yourself in the Tamar Valley life and stop for a bite to eat or a traditional cream tea as you go. Don’t forget to check out the famous historic Tavistock Pannier Market whilst you’re here. 

With easy access to Dartmoor, adventure seekers and outdoor lovers can always find something to do up on the dramatic moorland.  Take on the majestic granite tors, hike your way across the vast landscape, find a challenging cycle trail or simply hunt down a remote country pub for a beer and bite. Better yet, try to fit it all in!
