Moretonhampstead
Known as the gateway town to the High Moor, Moretonhampstead was a major coaching stop for travellers between Exeter and Plymouth in the 18th century.
Surrounded by spectacular countryside it is an ideal base for outdoor activity holidays. There’s a range of facilities for walking, cycling, horse riding, fishing and bird watching. As one of the gateway towns to Dartmoor, it has a thriving crafts community with a number of open studios and galleries that you can visit.
It has a variety of hotels, inns and teashops, a growing number of public art installations, an open air swimming pool and has its own town letter box trail.
Just outside of the town is the newly refurbished Bovey Castle and close by is the Miniature Pony Centre and Animal Farm visitor attraction.
