Chagford is a compact market parish on the north‑eastern edge of Dartmoor in West Devon, Devon, England. Set among rolling moorland and granite outcrops, it overlooks the valley of the River Teign and sits within easy reach of famous tors such as Haytor and Hound Tor, making it a popular base for walkers and anyone wanting swift access to wild Dartmoor scenery.
Historically a stannary and market town, Chagford retains a medieval street pattern and many granite buildings clustered around its square and the tower of St Michael's Church. Today the local economy mixes tourism, small‑scale farming and crafts, with a lively scene of independent shops, cafes, seasonal markets and community events that reflect both its historic roots and contemporary artisan culture.
