Chagford, Administrative division in West Devon, United Kingdom

Chagford stands at the northeastern edge of Dartmoor near the River Teign, featuring an octagonal Market House at its center called the Pepperpot.

The town received its stannary status in 1305, becoming an essential trading post for tin miners who brought their metal for weighing and assaying.

The community maintains three annual festivals: Chagfilm for cinema, Chagword for literature, and Chagstock for music, attracting participants from across Devon.

Local services include independent shops, art galleries, dining establishments, and accommodation options, with direct access to moorland walking trails.

The town operates an outdoor swimming pool filled with water from the River Teign, maintained at comfortable temperatures throughout the swimming season.
