Top 10 Places To Visit
 |
Ancient 'stannary town' and a gateway to the high moors. Castle Drogo and the exquisite Teign Gorge nearby. A bit of Devon, London and Narnia.
|
 |
Beautiful, compact town on the edge of Dartmoor National Park. Lots of antiques shops. Similar to Totnes in the South Devon AONB, we think.
|
 |
Much visited village surrounded by some of Dartmoor's most dramatic tors. Famous for its September fair which dates from the mid nineteenth century.
|
 |
To the west of the National Park with a castle (that was a 'notorious medieval prison') and gorge. The gorge, owned by the National Trust, is a must.
|
 |
Borders Dartmoor National Park, hence its inclusion. Busy Devon market town with a great pannier market. Sir Francis Drake was born here in the mid sixteenth century.
|
 |
One of the best places from which to explore the high moors, Yes Tor and High Willhays being nearby. Also home to Okehampton Castle and the Museum of Dartmoor Life.
|
 |
Another of Dartmoor's 'gateway towns'. We like it most of all for its public art including 'Sparrowhawk' in the town centre. Castle Drogo and other attractions in the vicinity.
|
 |
A perfect Dartmoor village centred around its church. Head up to the ridge of Lustleigh Cleave for great walking. The area's heavily wooded so it comes alive in Autumn.
|
 |
Visit Princetown for its High Moorland Visitor Centre, the Dartmoor Prison Museum and Visitor Centre and the exceptional local walking.
|
 |
In the heart of the National Park and famous for its clapper bridge. Exceptional walking in every direction but we'd recommend Bellever Tor and Forest. Panoramic views.
