Often referred to as the gateway to northern Dartmoor, Okehampton sits at the confluence of the East and West Okement rivers, positioned right on the edge of the national park’s rugged granite uplands. It is a traditional Devon market town where the high street still serves as a functional hub for the surrounding rural parishes, anchored by the ruins of a medieval castle - the largest in the county - which overlooks the town from a wooded spur. Geographically, it occupies a strategic spot just off the A30, providing a straightforward route toward Exeter and Cornwall, while the recently reinstated rail link to Exeter has reconnected the town to the national network. Life here is defined largely by the landscape; the "High Willhays" and "Yes Tor" peaks are accessible directly from the town’s edge, offering immediate access to some of the most remote moorland in the Southwest, while the granite way cycle path provides a more level route through the nearby countryside.
