Tavistock

Tavistock is situated along side the river Tavy on the western edge of the Dartmoor National Park. Tavistock in the late 12th century developed as a Stannary Town. Later the town prospered from the cloth trade and through copper mining. Visitors to the area can look out for the Tavistock Abbey founded in the 10th century and the famous Goose Fair, which is held yearly.
