United Kingdom Tavistock Rockmount B&B The Best Hotel Deals

Tavistock is a wonderful market town on the western edge of Dartmoor, situated by the picture-postcard river Tavy. This wonderful town in Devon is beautiful and distinguished with even the police station being a mini Castle. Busy by day, quiet and relaxed in the evenings. One can trace its history back as far as AD 974 when Tavistock Abbey was founded. Its ruins can still be seen in the centre of town. In modern times, we have a bustling town with a surprisingly wide range of local family owned shops, which also serve many of the outlying villages. Tavistock's 900 year old Pannier Market (named after the baskets used to carry goods) is as busy as ever. Tuesday to Saturday 9-4, you can browse the large indoor market which hosts stalls containing all sorts of locally produced goods, wares and food. Following is a list of attractions in the area.
