St Michael the Archangel's Church stands at the top of Chagford's market square, its square granite tower a fixture in the views across the eastern moor. The church dates from the fifteenth century, though the site may be much older. Inside, the nave is wide and light, with granite pillars supporting a timber roof, and the medieval proportions have survived relatively intact.
The churchyard is worth a slow walk. Many of the graves are carved from the local moorstone granite in a tradition that goes back centuries. The church is kept open during daylight hours. From the tower, on the rare days when access is permitted, the view takes in the whole of the Teign valley and much of eastern Dartmoor.
