Tavistock is the largest settlement in west Devon, England. It is a market town on the River Tavy, from which its name derives, and has a population of over 11,000. It traces its history back at least to A.D. 974, when the Benedictine Abbey, whose ruins lie in the centre of the town, was founded. Its most famous son is the sailor, privateer and circumnavigator Sir Francis Drake. The area around Tavistock (formerly Tavistoke), where the River Tavy runs wide and shallow allowing it to be easily crossed, and near the secure high ground of Dartmoor, was inhabited long before the historical record. The surrounding area is littered with archeological remains from the Bronze and Iron ages, and it is believed a hamlet existed on the site of the present town long before the town's official history began, with the founding of the Abbey.
