Area of benefit

The Tavistock & Villages (TaVi) Community has the town of Tavistock at its heart and spans twenty-two parishes and over 30 villages which look to Tavistock as their market town.

The area is defined more by its economic, environmental and social connections to Tavistock as a market town than by physical or administrative boundaries.
