ON the fourth Saturday of each month, the Tavistock Country Bus, Service 134, heads to Torquay.

On this service, the bus passes over the western edge of Dartmoor, passing through Cadover Bridge and calling into the hamlets of Wotter, Lee Moor and Cornwood before reaching Ivybridge.

The route then goes on through Avonwick to historical Totnes; then on to Paignton, stopping off at the zoo on the way for those interested. From Paignton the bus takes the coastal route to Torquay, where passengers can spend the day visiting the Living Coast watching penguins, potter around the harbour-side or just sunbathe on the golden sands.

The next journey will be on Saturday, March 26. The bus sets off from Tavistock Bus Station at 9.10am and then to Bedford Square and returns to Tavistock at 6.06pm.
