Chagford

ChagfordSet on a hillside just outside the ancient Dartmoor Stannary town of Chagford in Devon. Chagford is an ancient Stannary town situated on the north eastern edge of Dartmoor in Devon, England. Chagford is a traditional moorland town, lying snugly in the shelter of a wooded hillside. With its collection of old stone buildings, cottages and fine 15th century church, Chagford is an ideal spot for the outdoor enthusiast.

Although tin mining has now ceased, Chagford still has a thriving community whilst maintaining an olde worlde character.
Chagford is one of the original four Stannary Towns of Devon, where tinners brought their hard won metal for assay and stamping. The town is a thriving community with many shops and excellent leisure facilities, including an open air swimming pool - the largest in Devon.

For walkers, there are magical walks along the River Teign and endless explorations of the mystical and majestic Dartmoor. For those with children to entertain, there are
numerous days out - the Miniature Pony Centre and Chagford pool are right on the door, whilst there are great beaches, children's farms, pony trekking, steam railways,
zoos (to name but a few) slightly further afield.
