SITUATED off the main routes that circle Dartmoor, Chagford has a relative isolation that has created a community which is quite self-contained and offers everything the country tourist could desire.

Although there are restrictions on walking on footpaths and the open moorland there is no constraint on driving on tarmac roads to admire the beautiful scenery — and tourist attractions not involving farmland are open as usual.

When you visit the historic Stannary town of Chagford on the north-east of Dartmoor you can admire the attractive, fascinating buildings and historic church and stroll the town streets with wonderful views of the open countryside in all directions.

You will find an amazing range of shops stocking everything from a variety of foodstuffs, ironmongery of all sorts, outdoor clothing, kitchenware, books and magazines, silverware and antiques to pictures old and new and craftwork of every

description.

If you are in need of refreshment, you will find four pubs and several other eating establishments to suit every taste and every pocket.

Accommodation from village B&Bs and self-catering to first class hotels is abundantly available and you are assured of Chagford's traditional hospitality.
