Two decades on from when Tavistock was officially added to the UNESCO World Heritage list, Tavistock continues to honour an incredible past as Devon’s only World Heritage town.
This anniversary offers a moment for reflection and pride, marking July 2006, when the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape was inscribed as a World Heritage Site in recognition of the global significance of a historic landscape shaped by innovation and industry.
Tavistock’s significance lies in its connections through the wider West Devon area which forms part of a much larger World Heritage landscape stretching across Cornwall. Encompassing ten distinct areas and thousands of hectares of mining history.
