	Village Story
		It may have crossed the river at Harford Bridge to turn northwards to Mary Tavy, with the road to Tavistock only developing after the foundation of the Abbey in 983 a.d.
		It is also possible that the main thoroughfare passed the church with the village green on its left towards the Inn fording the river north of the Colley Brook as shown on some old maps.
		In the 17th century corn and sheep brought some affluence to Peter Tavy, the extensions to the church bear witness to this, but the village did not share to the same extent as its neighbours in the burgeoning mining industry.

	Lane End Tavy Cleave to Fur Tor
		Tavy Cleave is in fact a very steep sided valley and we were faced with a 450 feet climb up from the river up to the flat section of Standon Down.
		After the initial steep section, going was fast and easy as we followed cattle tracks on a bearing of 250 degrees down to a third crossing of the river Tavy, and even easier than the other two crossings as we were only a mile from Tavy head.
		When we reached the leat take off it was obvious that the river wasn't running as high as I had thought it might be and that the flat rocks appeared crossable.

		The trunk is painted with matt enamel paints and the foleage is from the Woodlands Scenic range as is the rest of the landscape.

		He said what he objected to was people paddling the river in the summer when the fishing was at it's best, He said he had no objections whatsoever to people paddling it in the winter outside of the fishing season.
		I've paddled this in major flood (on a day the Rivers Erme/ Plym etc. were way too high) and it was still an enjoyable and safe trip.
		This is where you see a house high on a cliff on river left and the river flows out of sight around a series of bends.

		The Tavy does not have any formal agreement and it is not therefore possible to give access permission to paddle this river.
		The river should be considered as being in two distinct sections.
		Despite this very real threat I know of a number of people who have paddled this stretch without challenge and they tell me that it is similar in difficulty to the loop on the Dart, although it may be more technical in places.

		The parents of the girl were ignorant of Williams's importunity, but the young people seem to have been aware of the state of affairs, and the brother, it is said, accompanied Emma to church with the intention of protecting her from any annoyance on the part of Williams.
		He could not be found at Peter Tavy village, but a message came to the father of the missing man that his son wanted him at a cottage at Harford-bridge, and, on the police proceeding thither, they found him with two bullet wounds to the head and his clothes dripping in water.
