Calstock is a beautiful small town situated on the bank of the River Tamar about 6 miles SW of Tavistock. It is surrounded by the smaller villages of the parish: Albaston, Chilsworthy, Drakewalls, Gunnislake, Harrowbarrow, Latchley & Metherell.
Although essentially a rural farming area, mining occured from medieval times in the parish. The 19th century demands of industry produced a mining boom in the town when copper was discovered in 1844. Other minerals found nearby were tin, arsenic, lead, silver, wolfram(tungstan) and manganese.
As the mines were exhausted or demand decreased the miners moved on and many emmigrated to America and Australia.
