A little history

Sir Francis Drake was born at Crowndale, near Tavistock, in around 1540. The town is a Dartmoor stannary town — tin and copper were assayed here. The Pannier Market is one of the finest in Devon. Tavistock is a Gateway to the western Dartmoor.

Local tip

The Pannier Market is excellent. The Drake statue and connection. Western Dartmoor walking from Tavistock. The canal trail to Morwellham Quay for the copper mining story.
