Devon's Nature In Art

Devon's Nature In Art is a unique collection of artwork by the well known artist Eleanor Ludgate. It is a celebration of the nature in Devon. This gem of a town is small but perfect. Set in the very heart of the beautiful Devon countryside on the north eastern side of the wonderful and wild Dartmoor National Park. The name Chagford is Saxon in origin and means "Thorny Ford" referring to the thorny gorse bushes which are abundant in the area and to a crossing point over the River Teign. However, the area has been inhabited by man since long before Saxon times and there many monuments and remains dating back to the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods in the countryside all around.
