LOCATION The waterside village of Calstock set in the Tamar Valley, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty lies about 6 miles from Tavistock and Callington and is 10 miles north of Plymouth. The village is dominated by the magnificent railway viaduct built in 1907 which stands about 120 feet tall and spans the river carrying the train from Plymouth to Gunnislake station. Calstock station is a short walk from the cottage and the train takes just under 35 minutes to Plymouth. There is also a regular bus service to Callington and Tavistock. Calstock has an interesting history believed to date from Roman times and from Saxon times it was a port. In its heyday in the 19th Century it was something of a dooming mining town with a population of around 7,000. Copper, tin and other valuable minerals and resources were mined here, and these were all shipped downstream from the town’s quay. With the decline in the mining industry Calstock has now become a Vibrant community. Many events held at the Calstock Arts Centre, Village Hall and Social Club. A community shop for essentials and Post Office are hosted at the village hall. There is a hairdressers, excellent art gallery, café, Italian ice cream shop, and two pubs both serving food. A brand new Co-op is under 2 miles away in Drakewalls with Tavistock and Callington offering a wide selection of supermarkets and independent shops and restaurants. Wonderful walks in the surrounding area. The nearby towns of Tavistock and Callington offer a broader range of facilities and amenities with the city of Plymouth offering a very comprehensive range of business, schooling and commercial facilities. 4 Ref: LCAA8086 THE ACCOMMODATION COMPRISES (all floor plans and dimensions are approximate) Small paned front door opening into:- SITTING / DINING ROOM – 19’10” x 16’3” narrowing to 10’9”.
