Discover Tavistock Walking Tour - Cemeteries and Burial Grounds
Tavistock has a long and rich history of Christian diversity which was reflected in the availability of at least 10 different official burial grounds over the centuries, of which only one remains in operation today. This 1 mile, 90 minute walk explores the available last resting places for Tavistock citizens since the establishment of Tavistock Abbey in 974 to the present day. This walk is predominantly flat, but does include some grass-covered, sloping areas. Appropriate footwear is essential.
