About Meldon

Meldon perches on Dartmoor's northern fringe along the A30, the main Cornwall-to-Exeter trunk road. This elevated spot offers commanding views across West Devon whilst serving as a gateway to the moor proper. The A386 from Tavistock provides the main alternative route, with over ten public fast chargers nearby reflecting its position on a major cross-country corridor. The village is famous for its spectacular Victorian railway viaduct.
