A pretty market town deep in Devon countryside, Chagford affords plenty of opportunity to both enjoy the serene tranquillity and embrace all the events and attractions on offer. There is an abundance of sweet independent shops that sell a gorgeous mixture of antiques, clothing, trinkets, gifts and hand-made treasures. Exeter is just a 35-minute drive away too.
If you are planning your holiday in September, make sure you keep tabs on Chagford’s quirky and unique annual film festival held in the last week of September. Hosting many events, screenings, workshops and competitions throughout the town, the festival celebrates international, national and local film talents.
Enjoy the cheery vibes of the town and branch out to explore the stunning Dartmoor National Park and the Teign Valley, before cooling off in the South West’s largest open-air swimming pool (river-fed, sparkling clean and heated to 26 degrees!). Whether you’re after a day of adventure or leisure, a holiday in a luxury self-catering cottage in Chagford is a dream come true.
