The Town Hall stands prominently on Fore Street in Okehampton, a handsome granite-faced building dating from 1685 that reflects the town's long history on Dartmoor's northern edge. The ground floor houses accessible council offices, while the first floor contains the Council Chamber—available for civil ceremonies and events—plus a committee room. WiFi is available throughout.
Okehampton itself is known as the walking centre of Dartmoor, with the nearby Granite Way connecting to Lydford and easy access to the moor's open country. The town also features Okehampton Castle ruins, Simmons Park with riverside walks, and the Museum of Dartmoor Life, making it a practical base for exploring West Devon.
