Yelverton, Devon

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

A large village on the south west edge of Dartmoor National Park, Yelverton is well situated to explore the park, with many prehistoric standing stones and stone rows within a short distance. A story, unlikely to be true, says that Yelverton's name was actually Elfordtown until the coming of the railway in 1859. At that time, the story goes, a railroad official misunderstood the name of the village and wrote it in the railway timetable as 'Yelverton', and the mistake stood. Two miles away is Buckland Abbey, home of Sir Francis Drake, while the historic market town of Tavistock is only 4 miles distant.
