Tavistock Viaduct

Image: © Bob Walters Taken: 29 Jul 2021

Tavistock Viaduct was part of the closed LSWR line from Exeter to Plymouth. This picture is taken from Taylor Square. The line was the London & South Western, later Southern Railway main line to Plymouth, closed in 1968. It has been suggested that this line should be re-opened to provide an alternative route to Plymouth and Cornwall as the old Great Western Railway route from Exeter to Plymouth is now the only access and can be subject to storm damage along the coast around Dawlish.
