Map | add to Travel Bag (NEW)
This ancient stannary (tin-assaying and tin-marketing) town lies on the southwest edge of Dartmoor National Park, about 24 km (15 miles) north of Plymouth. It gets its name from the River Tavy, on which it lies, and ‘stock’, which indicates that it became a prominent agricultural market for the area nearly a thousand years ago, when a Benedictine Abbey was founded. It is the largest town in West Devon and still flourishes, being full of interesting shops, a fine market, riverside park, leisure centre and arts centre. The town buildings are composed mainly of local stone and it is a great base for exploring the beautiful rolling countryside around it, the grandeur of Dartmoor and nearby places of interest, such as Morwellham Quay and Cothele.
