Places like this need supporting as when they are gone they are gone. Only found this museum as we passed it on the way to our hotel. Owned and run by a genuinely nice man whose name is Frank and who owns all the exhibits. An amazing collection of old cars and motorbikes which both look and smell incredible. Took me back to simpler times that no longer exist. If you are in the area take time to visit this tardis. £7 entrance fee is worth it for what you are helping to preserve.

This beautiful gallery sits in the centre of the ancient Dartmoor town of Chagford. It exhibits the paintings of the internationally renowned artist Eleanor Ludgate. You can see her amazing wildlife paintings, Dartmoor and Provencal landscapes. We also have a large selection of sculptures, bronzes, ceramics, prints, gifts and greetings cards.

Wonderul art work, the colours were beautiful. It was a delight to be able to compliment Eleanor on such talent and variety of style and subjects. I particularly loved the Avocet pictures. The story of the Three Hares Trail means we must return to Chagwell once again which will be something to look forward to in the future.

A free admission contemporary crafts gallery with large shop in a beautiful riverside setting on the fringe of Dartmoor.

Visited this innovative art/crafts centre tucked inside a picturesque former mill. First you walk into the courtyard where a very welcoming man was operating the mobile coffee shop. Then you walk through into the shop which displays many beautifully designed pieces and objects produced by local artists and craftspeople. Beyond this are the galleries which are laid out traditionally with exhibits placed on plinths and against whitewashed walls, with artists’ summaries of their work and inspiration. The building is an exciting place to exhibit work and provides a great showcase for local talent. If you buy something from the shop the staff are very helpful and share your excitement with your purchase. They can also provide further information on the artists who exhibit at the centre, if you ask at the desk.
