South Devon and Tavistock Railway, Devon
- Located in Devon, South West England, England
- The South Devon and Tavistock Railway ran between Plymouth and Tavistock before it was extended to Launceston near the Devon and Cornwall border. Today, much of the line is disused railway trackbed. We include this point of interest on PictureTheUK because a large section of this trackbed forms Drake's Trail. This multi-use trail is an umbrella term for a number of different paths and tracks in the area. The spine of Drake's Trail, however, runs between Plymouth and Tavistock
- The section south of Tavistock is particularly impressive. It runs through Isambard Kingdom Brunel's Grenofen Tunnel towards the stunning Gem Bridge and then across Magpie Viaduct in the direction of Yelverton
