The local area
The ancient stannary and market town of Tavistock sits on the western edge of Dartmoor, the perfect spot to base yourself to enjoy not only direct access to the moor for fantastic walking, cycling and riding, but also the stunning scenery, beaches and attractions of Devon and Cornwall.
Dating back to 974 AD, Tavistock is the only town in Devon to hold World Heritage status and it’s easy to see why as you stroll through its historic centre. Here you’ll find the sprawling town square with town hall, guildhall and old courthouse all built in fabulous gothic style jostling for space with a huge choice of independent shops and excellent restaurants, pubs and cafes. Walk on and you’ll come to the traditional ‘pannier’ covered market where you can easily lose a few hours browsing the colourful stalls for unique holiday gifts, or stopping to enjoy a traditional Devon cream tea which according to ancient manuscripts was invented by monks in Tavistock !
From your holiday cottage in Tavistock you’ll also enjoy direct access to Dartmoor National Park known for its stunning landscapes dotted with imposing granite tors, stone circles and clues to the lives of the people who have lived here since the stone age. Dartmoor is a hub for all kinds of outdoor pursuits but even for those not feeling quite so energetic it is a fascinating place to explore, with scenic picnic spots and pretty villages easily accessible by car.
All in all a self-catering cottage holiday in Tavistock lets you enjoy all that this stunning part of Devon has to offer.
