PUB WALKS

In this section I have brought together all the walks where there is a pub either at the start, at the end or in the middle. There are no new walks.

If you don’t have a car then take the bus to the start of the walk. Most of the walks use the No1 Stagecoach bus that travels between Plymouth Royal Parade and Tavistock. There are also walks using the 118 from Tavistock to Okehampton and the 79 that goes from Tavistock to Callington

Wheelchair walks

In 2023 Devon County Council with encouragement from Tavistock Ramblers and their footpath officer upgraded the footpath along the Tavistock canal to make it suitable for wheelchair access. Click here to see that route. There are also lots more trails and tracks in West Devon that are quite suitable for wheelchairs and trampers to use some of which are listed here by clicking on the box below. If you haven’t already done so why not join the Disabled Ramblers Group or more locally the Dartmoor Wheeled Access Group.
