Moretonhampstead is a small historic market town in the district of Teignbridge in Devon, England, sitting on the northeastern edge of Dartmoor. Its characterful granite buildings and notably broad high street reflect its market-town origins, and the town serves as a gateway for walkers and cyclists heading onto the moor, with easy access to surrounding lanes and trails.
Locally the economy mixes agriculture, tourism and independent retail and hospitality, with a strong community feel and a programme of fairs and events through the year. Visitors and residents appreciate the town’s history, village-scale social life and the way traditional Devon features - from stone cottages to parish architecture - sit alongside cafés, craft shops and outdoor pursuits.
