Bovey Tracey Information Centre

The centre provides information on local shops, attractions, services and where to walk, cycle, stay and eat. Opening times are given above.

If you need leaflets, maps, walking guides, bus timetables and souvenirs, then drop in and see us. Bovey Tracey Information Centre is alongside the Library in the new Riverside Community Centre, adjacent to Station Road car park. The Information Centre is staffed by a team of around 20 volunteers who have extensive local knowledge. We provide a single point of contact where visitors and local resi

dents can access a variety of information relevant to Bovey Tracey and the surrounding area. Bovey Tracey is a picturesque town situated on the eastern edge of Dartmoor National Park. One of the main attractions of Bovey Tracey is its stunning natural beauty. The town is surrounded by rolling hills and countryside, with the River Bovey running through its centre. Known as the ‘Gateway to Dartmoor’, the National Park is just a short distance away, and offers many opportunities for outdoor adventures. Bovey Tracey is a charming and welcoming town with a strong sense of community. It has a range of independent shops, restaurants and cafes, as well as several small supermarkets and other essential services. The town is also home to a vibrant arts and crafts community, with various craft shops and art galleries. Each year it hosts the Green Man, Craft and Nourish festivals. Residents also take part in the Devon Open Studios event and the National Garden Scheme. This makes it an ideal destination for visitors looking for an authentic experience of Devon.

If you live in the Bovey area and are looking for an opportunity to volunteer, but don’t wish to commit to fixed times each week, then Riverside Surgery Befrienders might be just for you. Our volunteer drivers can give as much or as little time as they wish. Each patient journey is arranged individually, and drivers are free to decline any run if they have other commitments. All we ask is that once they have accepted a booking, they honour that obligation. All mileage expenses are reimbursed so we are only asking you to donate your time. We also have a small team of coordinators, many of whom are also drivers; their task is to match up transport requests with available volunteers, and we always welcome new recruits to their ranks as well.
