Welcome to Taw Green

Taw Green is a small village located in the county of Devon, England. It is situated on the banks of the River Taw, which flows through the village and provides a picturesque backdrop for the local community. The village is surrounded by rolling hills and lush green fields, making it an ideal location for those who enjoy the great outdoors.

One of the main attractions of Taw Green is its proximity to the Tarka Trail, a 180-mile walking and cycling route that runs through the heart of Devon. The trail takes visitors through some of the most beautiful countryside in the region, including the stunning Dartmoor National Park. Taw Green is also home to a number of local pubs and restaurants, where visitors can sample traditional Devonshire cuisine and enjoy a pint of locally brewed ale.

Despite its small size, Taw Green has a strong sense of community, with a range of local events and activities taking place throughout the year. These include the annual Taw Green Village Fete, which features a range of stalls, games and entertainment for all ages. The village also has a number of local sports teams, including a cricket club and a football team, which provide opportunities for residents to get involved in local life and meet new people.
