The ancient Stannary town of Chagford is approximately 1.5 miles away where there is a wide range of day to day and specialist shops, pubs, cafes, a Primary school, pre-school and Montessori school, surgeries for doctor, dentist and vet and a Parish Church, Chapel and a Roman Catholic church. The whole area is criss-crossed with footpaths and there is easy access to riverside, countryside and the nearby open moor.
