Tavistock South West is a ward in West Devon, Devon, England, covering the south-west side of the market town of Tavistock and its rural fringes up towards Dartmoor. The area combines steep river valleys, stone-built streets and agricultural land, sitting close to the River Tavy and acting as one of the gateways onto the moor.
Locally the ward reflects Tavistock's market-town and mining heritage - part of the broader Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage area - with Victorian buildings, independent shops, a regular market and a mix of commuters, farmers and tourism-related businesses; walkers and cyclists often use it as a base for exploring the surrounding countryside.
