A charming community in the Devonian Dartmoor National Park's northernmost point. Although Chagford, one of Dartmoor's five Stannary towns, is compact, it is stuffed with conveniences and things to do. There are four taverns and a variety of stores. Additionally, Chagford offers more energetic amenities including a public tennis court and an outdoor swimming pool that you can use whenever you choose. The Three Crowns Hotel, which dates to the 1200s, is in this town with a rich history. The town of Chagford is highly recognised for its cultural events, including the annual Two Hills Race and festivals of literature, music, and film. For a different kind of getaway, Exeter, a lively, gorgeous city, is only a little over 21 miles away and is worth a visit. Okehampton, a quaint and lovely town, is about 12 miles away.
