Why visit Chagford?
Located near the northern boundary of Dartmoor National Park, Chagford is a market town with many traditional stone cottages. The name Chagford is derived from chag, meaning gorse, and ford relating to the crossing point over the River Teign.
One of the original stannary towns, Chagford had an important role as one of the towns through which all exports of tin were weighed and coinage (tax) collected. The Market House, known locally as the Pepperpot, is built on the site of a former market house and stannary court, dating all the way back to 1574. Today, Chagford is a thriving hub of independent shops, tea rooms, restaurants and pubs.
With Dartmoor literally on the doorstep, it is an ideal location for anyone who enjoys the great outdoors. Walkers can follow the Two Moors Way into the Teign Gorge or ascend to the top of Meldon Hill and enjoy the stunning views on offer.

The castle has recently undergone a six year renovation project to make the building watertight and the first display of items will focus on the early years of the Drewe family.
Slightly south of Chagford is Fernworthy Reservoir, a haven for wildlife, including the rare Marsh Fritillary butterfly. Surrounding the reservoir are a number of walks that will take you through woodland, moorland and meadows. Bring a packed lunch and eat at the picnic area, keeping an eye out for birds flying over the lake.
