Chagford



         


Chagford is a small town on the north-east edge of Dartmoor, in Devon, England, close to the River Teign. It grew due to the wool trade and from tin mining in the area, and in 1305 was made a Stannary town where tin was traded. Today it is a thriving community with an unusally wide range of shops for such a small place.

The 20th century Castle Drogo lies nearby.
