Okehampton is a historic market town set on the northern edge of Dartmoor National Park. A natural gateway into some of Devon’s most open and varied landscapes.
The town centre is compact and easy to explore, with a mix of independent shops, cafés, and everyday facilities, while riverside paths and green spaces run right through the heart of the town.
From Okehampton, visitors can step straight onto walking and cycling routes that lead onto Dartmoor and along well‑known trails such as the Granite Way and Two Castles Trail. The remains of Okehampton Castle sit just above the town, with woodland paths and open views nearby, while Simmons Park provides a central space for gentle walks, picnics, and riverside paths. With access to moorland walks, local history, parks, and year‑round events.
