A great place to live

Tavistock lies on the edge of Dartmoor, around 15 miles north of Plymouth on the A386, with a population of 11,227 [2001 census, revised 2002]. The town is centred on the paved amenity of Bedford Square, around which are found St. Eustachius' Church and the Abbey ruins, to the west, the Grade 2-listed Town Hall, the disused former Guildhall/magistrates' court buildings, and Pannier Market buildings behind the Town Hall. Abbey Bridge crosses the River Tavy to the south, while West Street and Duke Street, on either side of the north end of the square, form the main shopping areas, with the indoor [Pannier] market running behind Duke Street.

Callington (Kelliwik in Cornish) is an ancient market town, famous for its Mural Trail that makes the centre so colourful. With a population of around 6,000 and set to grow steadily in the coming years, the world-renowned St Mellion Golf & Country Club is less than 4.5 miles away. Looking down on the town is Kit Hill, the most dominant landscape feature in East Cornwall. The town is also the Headquarters of the Ginsters company, the area's largest employer.
