England Country in north-west Europe, part of the United Kingdom

England is a country that is part of the United Kingdom. It shares land borders with Wales to the west and Scotland to the north-northwest. The Irish Sea lies west of England and the Celtic Sea lies to the southwest. England is separated from continental Europe by the North Sea to the east and the English Channel to the south. The country covers five-eighths of the island of Great Britain, which lies in the North Atlantic, and includes over 100 smaller islands, such as the Isles of Scilly and the Isle of Wight.

The paper exists as the result of the merging of two rival papers in 1986. The Tavistock Times, founded in 1920, competed with the older Tavistock Gazette, founded in 1857, and each at various points threatened to put the other out of business. [1]

The paper has a circulation of about 8,000, [2] and is owned by the Tindle Newspaper Group.
