Mary Tavy Devon Map

About Mary Tavy

Mary Tavy, a quiet Devonshire parish, whispers tales of granite and water. It lies 5.4 km north-north-east of Tavistock (from Tavistock: bearing 21°T, OS grid SX 502 794), and is situated north-north-west of Peter Tavy village. The village nestles against the western edge of Dartmoor, its stone cottages reflecting the muted, pearly light that often spills across the moorland landscape. The River Tavy, a lively, clear ribbon of water, has shaped the very character of Mary Tavy, its currents once powering the mills that were its lifeblood and now offering a constant, gentle murmur. Ancient tors, like silent sentinels, stand watch over the scattered farmsteads, their weathered faces hinting at millennia of wind and rain. The air here, particularly after a shower, carries the clean, earthy scent of damp peat and wild gorse, a perfume unique to this high ground.
