Description
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.
