They did say 'two miles' apart didn't they?
Rising high on Dartmoor near Devil’s Tor, this ancient river winds its way down through Tavistock where it joins the River Tamar and forms the Bere peninsula. Its tributaries include the Collybrooke, River Burn, River Wallabrooke, River Lumburn, and River Walkham.
The Tavy feeds Tavistock Canal, which was once an important trading route connecting Morwellham quay to Tavistock
The river is navigable inland as far as Lopwell, where a weir marks the normal tidal limit, about a 9-mile (14 km) journey from North Corner Quay at Devonport. River transport was an important feature of the local farming, mining, tourism and forestry economies. Its mouth is crossed by the Tavy Bridge which carries the Tamar Valley railway line.
The River provides opportunities for all types of recreational activities from kayaking and swimming to bird watching and fishing. Situated on the banks of the Tavy, Tavistock Abbey is thought to be the birthplace of the iconic Cream tea!
