Tavistock Curiosities with Simon Dell - Walking tour
Join Simon Dell on this enlightening and curious stroll looking at the oddities of Tavistock which have been either overlooked or puzzled upon by many for decades. Simon walked the beat as a local policeman over a period spanning four decades so had plenty of opportunity to find lost alleyways, little known abbey remains and curiosities hidden in plain sight! You are guaranteed to end this walk saying “Well, I didn’t know that!”.
