Yelverton to Tavistock via Doublewaters

Linear walk from Yelverton to Tavistock, full details on the website if not displayed below  We will follow the West Devon Way from the parking near Yelverton  This starts level before dropping down to the Tavy at Doublewaters and then over West Down before heading for Tavistock along a quiet country road  The final stage uses the Drakes trail from Morrisons to the park   Lovely views on the way and late coffee stop at Doublewaters

This linear walk is parallel to the number 1 bus route between Tavistock and Plymouth   Either park in Tavistock (paid and free options) and catch the number 1 bus to Yelverton or park in Yelverton and return from Tavistock on the number 1 bus  The walk duration of 3 hours does not include the bus ride

The 9:30 bus from Tavistock should arrive in good time for the walk start and the bus driver usually waits until 9:31 for those boarding with a bus pass!

I plan to walk end the walk in Tavistock park, arriving around 1:00pm   A 30 minute earlier return is possible if you park in Yelverton and catch the bus back from opposite Lidl on the edge of Tavistock  

Toilets in Yelverton and central Tavistock

Many cafes in Tavistock
