Quiet country roads, lanes and footpaths will allow you to pass through some of the most beautiful countryside in Devon.
A gentle walk from one village to another, with organised stops at local pubs for meals etc: are easily planned.
Close to the village pub is the parish church. The church is dedicated to St. Peter and from this the village gets its name of course. The church has a fine granite tower in Perpendicular style.
The interior was heavily restored in Victorian times. The church itself is mainly 14th century.
A lot of the carving is by the Exeter carver, Herbert Read, including the screens, reredos, priests' chairs and altar tables among other items.
Most of these pages relate to West Dartmoor. This does not mean that other parts of Devon and Cornwall is not easily accessable from here.
Indeed, quite to the contrary, many use West Dartmoor and Peter Tavy in particular as their home base to explore the rest of this part of the West Country.
Here's a link to the Peter Tavy Inn!
Camping & caravan site at Peter Tavy!
From here it is only an hours drive to Bude or one and a half to Exeter! Plymouth is only 25 minutes away.
