Peter Tavy is a small rural parish on the western fringe of Dartmoor in West Devon, Devon, England, sitting in the valley of the River Tavy. The village is characterful and largely built of local granite, with an ancient parish church and a landscape of lanes, wooded valleys and open moorland that attracts walkers and nature lovers.
Historically the area has deep rural roots - agriculture and the legacy of Dartmoor’s mining and tin-working shaped local life - and today the local economy combines farming with tourism and small-scale local services, with nearby Tavistock providing shops and markets. The community remains small and tightly knit, with traditional villages and historic features giving a strong sense of place.
