Tavistock is a thriving market town adjoining the western edge of the Dartmoor National Park and was in 2004 voted the winner of a nationwide survey undertaken by the Council for the Protection of rural England involving 120 other market towns.

Indeed Tavistock can claim to have everything adding up to a quality of life which would be hard to rival.
