This month, we’re celebrating one of Tavistock’s most striking landmarks: the Tavistock Viaduct. Nestled on the edge of Dartmoor, this 19th-century engineering marvel combines impressive craftsmanship with breathtaking views over the town and surrounding countryside. Once a vital link for passengers and goods during Tavistock’s industrial heyday, the viaduct now stands as a cherished historical landmark and a scenic trail for walkers and cyclists.
Discover the full story, including fascinating historical details, construction insights, and how you and residents can share your own memories of this iconic landmark.
