EnglandTavistock

Schools in Tavistock

A compact stannary town of around 13,000 people, Tavistock sits on the River Tavy on the western edge of Dartmoor in West Devon, its recorded history stretching to 961 when Tavistock Abbey was founded, its ruins still anchoring the town centre. The town is also the birthplace of Sir Francis Drake.

Families moving to the area often weigh Mary Tavy and the villages of Gulworthy and Lamerton alongside the town itself, with Mary Tavy established as one of the most sought-after addresses for primary school catchments in this part of Devon. Plymouth lies around 15 miles to the south, where Great Western trains reach Exeter in under ninety minutes.
