Okehampton flowers delivery from Clare Florist

Okehampton, situated at the edge of Dartmoor in West Devon, is a former Saxon settlement and steeped in history. The town flourished on the medieval wool trade, which led to the construction of Okehampton Castle and the chapel of St James.

The castle, Devon's largest, is considered one of the UK's most romantic and featured in the Doomsday Book. It is situated on the foothills of Dartmoor and surrounded by woodland with walking trails and a picnic area.

The nearby Museum of Dartmoor Life houses an interactive exhibit, which tells the story of life in the area a century ago. The museum shows what it was like to live and work on Dartmoor and offers a family history tracing service.

Okehampton is home to Eastcott Vineyard, which offers guided tours and tasting. The vineyard employs traditional methods of production and makes both sparkling and still wines. Owner-operated, Eastcott is set on six acres and is situated around six miles from the town centre.

The town holds regular farmers markets, selling locally produced foods by independent farmers and small producers. Stalls sell eggs, vegetables, meat and handicrafts such as soap.
