The small market town of Chagford sits on the north‑eastern edge of Dartmoor in the district of West Devon, Devon, England. Granite-built houses and narrow streets give way to open moorland and tors, with the River Teign and a network of footpaths and bridleways nearby, making the setting strikingly rugged and popular with walkers.
Historically linked to stannary and farming activity, Chagford today has a lively mix of independent shops, cafés, galleries and food producers, and a calendar of small festivals and markets that draw visitors. The local economy balances agriculture and tourism, while community groups and conservation efforts work to preserve the town’s historic character and its surrounding upland landscape.
