On a recent visit to Cornwall close to Callington, we were recommended that if we wanted locally produced cheeses then a visit to the market place in Tavistock was the place to go. We were not disappointed we left with a bag full of local cheeses mostly Yarg and Kern. Fabulous shop and a great selection of cheeses all served by friendly knowledgable staff. If your into your cheese and are in the area then stop by, you won't be disappointed.

Launched in 1995, Proper Job is one of the UK’s first community reuse centres nestled on the northeast edge of Dartmoor in Devon. We are a Charity that aims to keep reusable items away from landfills, by putting them on sale in an Aladdin’s cave of pre-loved treasures. Everything from baths, crockery and clothes to garden furniture and building materials can be bought by you at a fraction of their original cost, meaning you not only save money but also go some way to leading a more environmentally friendly lifestyle. We are fiercely committed to principles of sustainability and educating to conserve resources. Our mission is to develop more UK initiatives around conservation, waste management and recycling of the earth’s resources. You are invited to join training sessions and skill sharing workshops. We offer those to promote the benefits of reusing, recycling and reducing in this modern age.
Just love this place - always pop in when I can. And it's a charity! Doing great things, well done Proper job!!

This beautiful gallery sits in the centre of the ancient Dartmoor town of Chagford. It exhibits the paintings of the internationally renowned artist Eleanor Ludgate. You can see her amazing wildlife paintings, Dartmoor and Provencal landscapes. We also have a large selection of sculptures, bronzes, ceramics, prints, gifts and greetings cards.
Wonderul art work, the colours were beautiful. It was a delight to be able to compliment Eleanor on such talent and variety of style and subjects. I particularly loved the Avocet pictures. The story of the Three Hares Trail means we must return to Chagwell once again which will be something to look forward to in the future.

Was on The Independent newspaper's list of the Top 50 British Bookshops. This is a delightful shop, better possibly than you could hope for in a modest country town, even Tavistock. It occupies three floors in a terrace, the ground and first being occupied by the books and the top floor, called the Music Room has a well selected stock of CDs Vinyl and DVDs and the choices cover Rock Jazz Classica Jazz Folk 'and more'. My home town of Plymouth just has a couple of branches of W's and two (one good) second hand bookshops. Unless you need your book same day, it's almost inevitable that we buy from Amazon except where we want to feel and browse and then buy from Amazon. BUT if we're in or near Tavistock the Book Stop is easily worth a visit. It's friendly and helpful and the stock, which while not encyclopaedic, has a good selection in most fields. Difficult not to leave without at least having ought something(s). And, if you know you will be in again within a day or so, I don't mind buying books which they need to order. I used to do this with the University Bookseller in Plymouth until the online sellers pushed it out but I'm happy to buy from Tavistock.
