West Devon

West Devon combines the exposed granite moorland of Dartmoor with sheltered river valleys in a way that reflects its position on Devon’s western uplands. Much of the district reaches into Dartmoor National Park, a landscape of tors, heath and grazing land, while the River Tavy flows south through its western side. Tavistock, the district’s principal town, grew around an abbey founded in 961 and later became closely associated with the mining economy of the Tamar Valley. The market town remains a useful base for exploring the moor and surrounding countryside. Browse other webcams across West Devon and Dartmoor to place this setting in a wider geographic context.
