Chagford is a unique place, a magnet for visitors drawn to its historic charm and wild Dartmoor setting. Nestled into the hills on the north-eastern side of Dartmoor and easily accessed from the A30, this stannary town is small but perfect. It\u2019s a living, working community with a strong artistic streak and a reputation for excellent food. If you&#8217;re looking for a base to explore Chagford Dartmoor that has its own distinct character and plenty of comforts after a day on the tors, you&#8217;ve found it.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-12c9a6cd e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"12c9a6cd\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-13cd6e1f elementor-widget elementor-widget-table-of-contents\" data-id=\"13cd6e1f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;headings_by_tags&quot;:[&quot;h2&quot;],&quot;exclude_headings_by_selector&quot;:[],&quot;marker_view&quot;:&quot;bullets&quot;,&quot;no_headings_message&quot;:&quot;No headings were found on this page.&quot;,&quot;icon&quot;:{&quot;value&quot;:&quot;fas fa-circle&quot;,&quot;library&quot;:&quot;fa-solid&quot;,&quot;rendered_tag&quot;:&quot;&lt;svg class=\\&quot;e-font-icon-svg e-fas-circle\\&quot; viewBox=\\&quot;0 0 512 512\\&quot; xmlns=\\&quot;http:\\\/\\\/www.w3.org\\\/2000\\\/svg\\&quot;&gt;&lt;path d=\\&quot;M256 8C119 8 8 119 8 256s111 248 248 248 248-111 248-248S393 8 256 8z\\&quot;&gt;&lt;\\\/path&gt;&lt;\\\/svg&gt;&quot;},&quot;hierarchical_view&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;min_height&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;min_height_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;min_height_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"table-of-contents.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toc__header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toc__header-title\">\n\t\t\t\tTable of Contents\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-toc__13cd6e1f\" class=\"elementor-toc__body\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toc__spinner-container\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"elementor-toc__spinner eicon-animation-spin e-font-icon-svg e-eicon-loading\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewBox=\"0 0 1000 1000\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M500 975V858C696 858 858 696 858 500S696 142 500 142 142 304 142 500H25C25 237 238 25 500 25S975 237 975 500 763 975 500 975Z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3df9f9d0 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"3df9f9d0\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5a4cacf6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5a4cacf6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Local history and heritage\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5a421745 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5a421745\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chagford has a weight of history that you can feel. Its name, from the Saxon, means &#8220;the ford where the gorse grows.&#8221; In 1305, it was officially established as one of only four Dartmoor stannary towns. Here, miners brought their tin for weighing and taxing at the Stannary Court. The eight-sided Market House, a focal point in the square, stands on the site of that old court.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Church of St Michael the Archangel, dating back to the 15th century, is a testament to this prosperous past. Inside, you&#8217;ll find the tomb of Mary Whiddon, who was shot on her wedding day in 1641 \u2013 a story thought to inspire Lorna Doone. Look up at the roof bosses to see the famous \u2018Tinners Rabbits\u2019, a symbol of three hares chasing each other in a circle, sharing only three ears between them.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ad55032 elementor-widget elementor-widget-google_maps\" data-id=\"ad55032\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"google_maps.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-custom-embed\">\n\t\t\t<iframe loading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?q=Chagford&#038;t=m&#038;z=11&#038;output=embed&#038;iwloc=near\"\n\t\t\t\t\ttitle=\"Chagford\"\n\t\t\t\t\taria-label=\"Chagford\"\n\t\t\t><\/iframe>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-928d924 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"928d924\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6a4df98 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6a4df98\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What to see and do in the village\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-df3dbe4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"df3dbe4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A lot of the pleasure here is in simply wandering. The central square, dominated by the historic Market House (known locally as the Pepperpot), is the natural hub. You\u2019ll see old thatched granite buildings, many dating back to the 16th century.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shopping in Chagford mirrors the vitality of the town. You&#8217;ll find all your everyday needs alongside an exciting mix of unique independent shops. A standout is Bowdens, the famous hardware store running since 1862 and known as \u201cthe shop that has everything.\u201d It\u2019s a town built for pottering, not for rushing.

The nearby Dartmoor National Park Visitor Centre at Parke provides an excellent introduction to the area&#8217;s ecology and history.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a change of pace, the picturesque village of Drewsteignton, with its famous thatched pub, The Drewe Arms, is a short drive away and sits proudly above the Teign Gorge.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2ece33f elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2ece33f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1365\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/fresh-escapes.com\/periodical\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Dartmoor-National-Park.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-37\" alt=\"Dartmoor-National-Park\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fresh-escapes.com\/periodical\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Dartmoor-National-Park.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/fresh-escapes.com\/periodical\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Dartmoor-National-Park-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fresh-escapes.com\/periodical\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/elementor\/thumbs\/Dartmoor-National-Park-qt6bm625rz0yhabmvsosw0td348po8cjrnqa7fxs4g.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1365px) 100vw, 1365px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ef3ac98 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"ef3ac98\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a89da12 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a89da12\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Tips for organising your visit\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-150daea elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"150daea\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A little planning will make your trip much more enjoyable. Firstly, parking in the main square is limited and often has a time restriction. It&#8217;s best to use one of the larger, free car parks on the edge of the town, such as the one near the recreation ground. It\u2019s only a two-minute walk into the centre and saves any hassle.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The weather on Dartmoor is famously changeable. Even if it&#8217;s sunny in the town, the higher tors can be shrouded in mist and wind. Always pack a waterproof layer and sturdy footwear if you plan on walking. The paths can be rocky and wet underfoot.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many of the shops and some cafes are closed on Sundays. It&#8217;s also wise to book tables for dinner at the popular pubs like the Three Crowns Chagford well in advance, especially at weekends and during the holiday season. They tend to get quite busy.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dc4839b e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"dc4839b\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-83366b0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"83366b0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Come and explore Chagford\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fc906d4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fc906d4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chagford offers a rare combination: the deep, quiet history of a Dartmoor town, a thriving community with excellent food and drink, and immediate access to some of the wildest landscapes in the country.
