Tavistock Viaduct Walk leads through Watts Road Cutting, which was dug during the construction of the railway line between Lydford and Plymouth in 1887 – 1890. The cutting is 50 feet deep and half a mile long. The former track bed is now used as a walkway and cycle route and is a haven of quiet, natural beauty. It has been designated as a Local Nature Reserve and is carefully managed for all to enjoy.
