    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the best area to stay in Dartmoor Forest?

    For a truly immersive Dartmoor experience, the best areas to stay are around the towns of Tavistock, Chagford, and Moretonhampstead, or in the heart of the moors themselves in villages like Widecombe-in-the-Moor.

    Tavistock, a historic market town on the western edge of Dartmoor, is an excellent base for those looking for a blend of town amenities and easy access to the moors. It's a World Heritage Site, known for its Pannier Market and the River Tavy flowing through its centre. You'll find a good selection of independent shops, restaurants, and cafes here, making it convenient for stocking up on supplies or enjoying an evening meal after a day of exploring.
