How to get here

 

Okehampton is a market town near the remotest parts of Dartmoor.

Okehampton is a grey town with a 1685 town hall and substantial stone buildings. There is a small museum in the town and to the west is the remains of a 14th century castle. A bit drab really, but the largest town in the area.
