Sandy Park Inn is a thatched free house thought to date from the 17th century, located in the moorland village of Chagford. The pub features a characterful bar with a large open fireplace and ancient beams, a small snug, and a separate front room. Outside, a garden is accessed via side steps and there's parking at the front.
The inn serves Dartmoor ales including Dartmoor IPA, alongside Otter Bitter and St Austell Proper Job. Situated near Castle Drogo, Fingle Bridge and Chagford's town centre, it's well-positioned for walkers exploring the moorland. The pub is currently closed; check locally for updates on reopening plans.

“Nor can imagination body forth a place more congenial to the sights and sounds of dark and blood-stained rites, than this dreary, narrow, rock-strewn glen of the Dart.”
