Holsworthy is a market town in the west of Devon, England. It is situated near the county border with Cornwall. It lies on the River Deer, a tributary of the Tamar. Holsworthy is a historic market town with hundreds of years of history and is mentioned in the Domesday Book. The town hosts the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul, which is famous for being one of the few churches in the country with the Devil in the window. Holsworthy has a good assortment of traditional inns, pubs and tea rooms. Outside of the town many local farms provide accommodation. Just off Market Square is the Holsworthy Museum, run by enthusiastic volunteers and providing a glimpse at the almost forgotten rural way of life. A short distance from Holsworthy, a tranquil day’s fishing and boating can be enjoyed on Tamar and Roadford Lakes. Holsworthy contrasts the peace of rural Devon with convenient access to more lively attractions within Devon and Cornwall.
