Chagford is a small stannary town on the north-east edge of Dartmoor, with a lively square of independent shops, traditional hardware stores and pubs, and a community that punches above its size. It attracts walkers and visitors in summer and has many large old houses and farmhouses in the surrounding countryside. Customers expect traditional skills and local knowledge, particularly for granite and thatched properties. A business should list the moorland hamlets it covers and be clear about call-out distances.

Elsewhere in Devon: Moretonhampstead (3 miles), Bovey Tracey (9 miles), Crediton (11 miles) and Ashburton (11 miles).

Questions

Web design in Chagford: questions

Is Chagford too far away for you?
No. Chagford is about 14 miles west of Exeter, and distance makes no difference to how we work: calls, WhatsApp and a link to your design on your phone. You see and approve the design before anything goes live, with two rounds of changes included.
Are there business figures for Chagford on its own?
Not from the ONS, which counts businesses for West Devon as a whole. Chagford is one of 4 towns on this site in that council area, so the numbers above are shared with places like Tavistock and Okehampton.
Where is Chagford in relation to Exeter?
About 14 miles as the crow flies: Chagford is west of Exeter, in the TQ postcode area. Nobody needs to travel: the whole job runs by phone, WhatsApp and video call.
Can the site cover places near Chagford too?
Yes. A site for a Chagford business can name Moretonhampstead, Okehampton, Bovey Tracey and North Tawton or any other places you work, and we build for businesses in all of them.
