    It is a rare thing the see days to have a thriving town with a decent market. Most places are what I would call ‘tat markets’ but the Pannier Market in Tavistock is a great place to visit. The highlight for me was the food place ‘Bobs’ absolutely cracking fry up. Also, the shops around the market are brilliant… the cheese shop is awesome.

    Took my friend fishing - we were warmly welcomed with coffee and chatted to the bailiff who shared some key knowledge in fly selection and offered to help set up equipment. The venue has lots of natural vegetation and plenty of insect life for the trout to feed on. The lakes are fed from the river Tavi and the flowing fresh wash makes for hard fighting fish in mint condition great tasting for the table. I caught 3 rainbows and my friend got a PB 6lb Brown trout on a Parachute Adams Dry fly...

    I've been to a few micro breweries and this is one of the absolute best.
    Excellent beer, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff and great atmosphere.
    I didn't try the street food but it looked excellent.
    Don't miss out on this gem of a venue.

    Overall very good experience. My son wanted to start his own antique collection as I have over the years. The owners are very friendly and helpful and gave him a very good deal to start his collection. I couldn't walk away without adding to my collection too ( at a very good price). Well worth the visit !

    We didn't know about the Merrivale Monuments, but stumbled upon them while trying to hike up to the Tor. These were fascinating to walk through, especially after we looked up what they were. I think they're about as old as Stone Henge but without the crowds. If you're in Dartmoor, it's worth seeing.

    When you arrive you may think you are in the wrong place but when you get into the shop it is very interesting and the gentleman who served us was very polite and interested in where we had came from. We got different cider samples and ended up spending £60. It a quaint little ‘shop’ and would recommend you visit if you are in the area

    On a rainy midweek morning the cafe here was very busy.
    We had a lovely cup of coffee, and gluten free rainbow cake here.
    The member of staff on reception was very helpful and informative, advising us of all the different events, gigs, and talks that were coming up. If I lived locally I would be in here a lot!

    We were in Tavistock and took the opportunity to have a walk along the Tavistock Canal and Waterway. Lovely and peaceful walk bringing us good and not so good memories from both the recent and distant past. The Ducks along the bodies of waters give the feeling of safety and Mother Nature at her best. There is a Coffee Outlet serving drinks and food plus a children’s play park as well as a number of benches to take a few minutes enjoying the area.

    A gentle uphill walk to the wheal with stunning views surrounding it. The entrance looks like a private driveway to stables but there is a lay-by halfway down the track to park up and walk. Highly recommend a visit. Easy to get to. Approx. 30 mins visit total.

    There is simply no where else that I or my family would entrust to frame beloved pieces. First class
