A WEST Devon tourist association this week revealed its new multimedia face with the launch of its website which will also host the 'Drake's Trail' cycle route linking Tavistock and Plymouth. The launch for http://www.drakesdartmoor.co.uk">www.drakesdartmoor.co.uk took place at Buckland Abbey, near Yelverton on Monday. The Drake's Dartmoor website aims to promote local tourism, support local businesses and promote 'Drake's Trail'. The new Sustrans cycle route 27 will link Tavistock and Plymouth on a purpose built route for the first time providing a safe route for Plymouth families to cycle or walk to the fringes of Dartmoor. Geoffrey Cox, the MP for West Devon, officially presented the website to local businesses, VIPs and interest groups at the launch ceremony. The launch also included children from three local primary schools — Buckland Monachorum, Meavy and Walkhampton — with their fantastic artwork and their help to a shadow puppet show in co-operation with Jacolly Puppet Theatre, based in Yelverton.
