Stone Bridge on the Tavistock Canal Towpath

Highlight • Bridge

The towpath on the bank of the Tavistock Canal is the perfect flat trail. You quickly escape the built up area of Tavistock into the calm and quiet watersedge.

The canal was completed in 1817 and was used to transport cargo to Morwellham Quay. The flow of water is still used to power a hydroelectric plant.

Keep a watch out for a flash of blue as you run along, kingfishers are often spotted here.

Tavistock Weir

Highlight • River

At the Abbey Bridge the River Tavy flows across the weir, sometimes also known as Parkwood Weir.

Abbey Bridge and Weir

Highlight • Historical Site

This gorgeous 18th-century bridge is one of several in the heart of Tavistock but is perhaps the prettiest. The River Tavy rushes underneath to pass down the weir, creating a series of little waterfalls in lush surroundings.

The bridge features both on the Dartmoor Way cycle route and National Cycle Network Route 27.

Tavistock Town Hall

Highlight • Monument

There's a great permanent exhibition in here - good social history. Free, and well worth a visit.

Tip by

7.97 km

Pannier Market

Highlight • Structure

Historic covered market, in beautifully restored building. Great for browsing, all sorts on offer, good when the weather's wet (which is fairly frequent 😉).
