Bovey Tracey, Devon

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

An historic town on the Bovey River in south Devon at the eastern edge of Dartmoor National Park. Bovey Tracey has a history as a centre of china clay mining. Legend tells that William de Tracey built the parish church of St Peter, Paul, and Thomas of Canterbury in remorse for his part in the murder of Thomas a Becket in 1170. The 12th century Manor House may have been de Tracey's dwelling. A medieval gateway known as Cromwell's Arch is all that remains of a medieval monastery. In 1646 the Battle of Bovey Heath took place just outside the town.
