Chagford, Devon

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

One of the original stannary towns of Devon, Chagford lies in a wooded area on the eastern edge of Dartmoor National Park. St Michael's church dates to the 13th century, with many 15th century additions. In the church is a memorial to Mary Whiddon, who was shot dead as she left the church after getting married in 1641. Author RD Blackmore is though to to have used Whiddon's tragic tale as inspiration for his novel Lorna Doone. The 16th century manor house is now a picturesque inn. Of contemporary date is Endecott House.
