Tavistock is one of our favourite local places to visit and we tend to do our shopping here preferring to use the lovely independent and artisan shops dotted across the town. Make sure to walk up every street and alleyway, the town has more shops and places of interest on offer than you might first realise…
For food and drink, we recommend :
The historic Pannier Market is in the centre of the town, it’s a large undercover market set in a beautiful building with a variety of different stallholders that change across the days and weeks of the year, additionally the Butchers Hall just across from the market regularly has complimentary fairs, sales and exhibitions
There are plenty of independent and interesting shops around the market too and on the outside main entrance to the market there are usually stalls selling a variety of produce, clothes, plants etc.
The Town Hall opens up occasionally to hold antique and craft markets too so… if browsing around markets antiques, food, art and all sorts is thing, you’ll love this area of town
Eversfield Organic Farm shop – www.eversfieldorganic.co.uk we highly recommend this wonderful shop for groceries, it has an excellent selection of the very best organic quality food and drink
This walk takes in the viaduct which carried the London and South West Railway trains from Exeter around the north western fringes of Dartmoor. The line closed in the late 1960s. Splendid views of Tavistock across to the tors of Dartmoor can be taken in from the viaduct walk a little further along from the viaduct you’ll find the original Tavistock Station Building – now in private ownership but well worth taking a look, as so much of the original building remains in tact
The walking route starts at Bedford Car Park, into Russell Street where you turn left onto West Street. Take the steps up Rocky Hill and turn right onto Watts Road. Continue past Madge Lane until you reach the entrance to the railway footpath
Once off the viaduct, where the road sharply bends to the right, take an almost hidden footpath on your left which skirts the old railway station. Continue along the foot/cycle path until it loops back onto itself and joins a residential Road. Turn left and continue downhill for 1 mile
Take some steep steps on your left and descend into Paddons Row
Is home to a cinema, live music venue, theatre and live performance broadcasts it also has a coffee shop and bar
Reputedly where afternoon cream tea was invented, why not treat yourself to a Devon cream tea? On this side of the border they put the cream first, in Cornwall it’s done the correct way, obviously it should be jam first! Or… Why not try both ways? It actually tastes different so you can be the judge of which you prefer…
It’s another good place for breakfast, lunch or dinner with a decent menu. Booking recommended
