Situated on the Western edge of Dartmoor in Devon, England, Tavistock is a beautiful, ancient market town with unique character. Thriving and growing, Tavistock is a central town for the farming community in the area offering much in the way of interesting places to visit, local amenities, shopping and atmosphere.

The earliest proof of Tavistock being in existence dates around 680AD but there have probably been settlements here for around 4,000 years! Tavistock grew to prominence when a huge Abbey was built by a local Earl. Later it became a stannary town (the term being derived from the Latin name for tin) and its mining industry made it a wealthy town.

Today it has much to commend it - from historic buildings a thousand years old to a leisure pool with rides and flumes. From a working tin mine museum and ancient pannier market to fashion shops and a yearly festival called Goosey Fair which sees the town transformed into a huge fairground and market.

So, why are Kings advertising and promoting Tavistock? Well, we love this town and we feel very much part of it! We also feel God has plans for this town and the surrounding area of Dartmoor. It has been said that Tavistock will be a centre for a revival that God will bring and that He will draw the people of the town to Himself. Come and see for yourself!
