Tavistock Railways - 31st August

The South Devon and Tavistock Railway Company opened on 21st of June 1859. It offered a railway service from Plymouth to Tavistock and this was extended to reach Launceston in 1865. Subsequent demolition has left a few traceable remains of this once important rail link.  On 2nd June 1890 the Plymouth, Devonport and South Western Junction Railway opened offering a link to London. Join Stephen and Claire Fryer for a visit to both of these railway sites. The walk will be approximately 2 hours over reasonably level terrain including remnants of the old railbed.


Part of this walk is on open ground. Please wear suitable footwear and be prepared for inclement weather
