Many guests have already planned their stay but if not and you want to see what you could do in the Tavistock area, the following will take you to a mix of contacts for everything from walking, sailing, cycling, rock climbing and canoeing to adventure parks, pretty villages, pubs, restaurants, cafes, country houses, theatres, cinemas and shops plus many useful contacts and a diary of local events. If you want to know where these places are in relation to Bush Park, take this link to a map (we're at the tip of the red arrow), then enter the place name to find where it is. Your browser (Internet Explorer or Netscape etc.) should include a "Find on this page" tool (In the pull down menu from 'Edit' in Internet Explorer). Use this to search for any word (or part of a word) such as a place name or an activity. Links included will open up in a new window so to return to Bush Park either close it with the X button or minimize it with the _ button in the top right of the window. * recommended by or to us.
