Dartmoor
Tors, moorland villages and market towns in and around Dartmoor National Park
This part of Devon covers Dartmoor National Park and the West Devon towns and villages around it. Okehampton has the most places to stay on the northern edge and a direct train to Exeter on the Dartmoor Line, which reopened to regular passengers in November 2021. Tavistock is a market town on the western fringe, Lydford Gorge is a National Trust river gorge on the western edge of the moor, and Chagford sits above the Teign valley on the eastern side. Haytor is the moor's most visited granite tor, with car parks and some accessible paths, and Becky Falls near Bovey Tracey has woodland trails. To the west, Roadford Lake near Broadwoodwidger has lodges and cottages, about half of them with a hot tub, and most stays across the area accept dogs.
