Tavistock Attractions
In former days Tavistock prospered through a combination of tin and wool; St Eustace's (14th/15th century) and the Guildhall (1848) were both built by subscription from local tin barons and clothmakers. On the Plymouth road, just southwest of the town, a statue (1883) by J. E. Boehm commemorates Sir Francis Drake, born at nearby Crowndale Farm in 1540.
Tavistock has a number of specialty shops including the 1000 year old Crebers Delicatessen, a farmers market held twice per month and a covered pannier market held five days a week, dating back to 1105. Throughout the year Tavistock also hosts a full calendar of events.
