Chagford is a thriving community which offers a cosmopolitan lifestyle in the countryside. In 2015 it was named by The Sunday Times as ‘the best place to live in rural Britain’, with its history, lifestyle, traditional retail offering, annual literary and ﬁlm festivals and community spirit all contributing to its success.

The town is home to a good range of independent shops where antiques and ﬁne art can be found, as well as a delicatessen and convenience stores. In the centre is an octagonal building, known as the ‘pepperpot’. This is the Market House building and was once the site of an ancient stannary court that met twice a year.

There are a number of excellent pubs and a post ofﬁce, as well as a health centre and chemist. The 13th Century 5 star, Three Crowns Inn, has recently been refurbished and has an excellent reputation. Nearby Gidleigh Park is a renowned and award-winning two Michelin starred restaurant and hotel.

The church of St Michael the Archangel, dedicated in 1261, features carved roof bosses with the traditional tin miners’ Three Hares emblem which can be found in various locations all over the moor. The church, it is claimed, inspired RD Blackmore’s novel ‘Lorna Doone’.

With a population of just 1,500 Chagford’s community thrives and supports numerous clubs and pastimes including tennis, table tennis and keep-ﬁt. The town also boasts an open-air swimming pool fed by a local river.

Chagford’s Stone Lane Gardens, home to National Collections of birch and alder trees, was hailed as ‘a reminder of a world too precious to be ignored’ by gardener and broadcaster Roy Lancaster. DELIGHTFUL DARTMOOR

Dartmoor National Park has been attracting visitors for hundreds of years and today it is a magnet for walkers. Chagford sits on the Dartmoor Way, a 95-mile route around the edge of the moor for both hikers and cyclists. The Two Moors Way, which also passes close to Chagford, traverses the moor from Ivybridge in the south to Lynmouth on the north coast of Exmoor.

One of Britain’s 15 national parks, Dartmoor is well-known for its tors – hills topped with granite outcrops – and for its population of Dartmoor ponies. There are also numerous standing stones which reveal something of the moors’ prehistoric human habitation, and thousands of hut circles, the remains of Bronze Age homes.

Dartmoor’s rugged landscape has inspired many novels, including ‘War Horse’ by Michael Morpurgo which later became a Stephen Spielberg cinema box ofﬁce hit, featuring spectacular moorland scenes. Views of Dartmoor can be enjoyed from Stannary Gardens.

STUNNING SURROUNDINGS

Chagford makes an ideal base from which to explore the surrounding area. Overlooking the town, and offering stunning views of Chagford and its moorland setting, is Castle Drogo, close to the Teign Gorge at Drewsteignton. Drogo is the last castle to have been built in England – designed by Edwin Lutyens it was completed in 1930 for businessman Julius Drewe, founder of the Home and Colonial Stores.

Today the castle is owned by the National Trust, and is open to the public, alongside its formal gardens which were also designed by Lutyens.

Fingle Bridge, the Iron Age hill fort of Prestonbury Castle, Fernworthy Forest, the Haldon Forest Park, Canonteign Falls and Roadford Lake Country Park are all close by.

Although Chagford is surrounded by such stunning natural beauty, Devon’s capital city Exeter is around 30 minutes drive. This thriving city is a great place for shopping, entertainment and more. Plymouth is just over an hour away, and Bristol is no more than two hours away via the nearby A30 and M5. GETTING THERE

Chagford is just a few minutes from the A30 dual carriageway, which links into the M5 at Exeter. Exeter International Airport is less than 30 miles from the town, just off the A30, and the city’s mainline railway station is around two hours from London by train.
