The museum opened in 1982 when - with a growing collection of local objects to be housed and displayed - a group of volunteers raised funds to purchase the present site and its empty, derelict buildings. Much time and effort was then put in to refurbish the buildings for their new role.

Having opened to the public, over the years further enhancements and additions to displays, galleries and facilities have taken place to win awards and provide the present services and representations of Dartmoor’s history.

Okehampton’s £4.2 million Parklands Leisure Centre is (to date) the largest project ever undertaken by West Devon Borough Council and has been partially financed by a £3.2 million grant from the Sports Lottery. The grant was the second largest ever awarded to the region.

Situated within Simmons Park in the centre of town, Parklands Leisure Centre has something for everyone, offering a wide range of facilities and activities.

Facilities include a four-lane, 25m swimming pool with a movable floor, a four court sports hall, 35-station fitness suite, aerobics studio, crèche and function room.

The remains of the largest castle in Devon, in an outstandingly picturesque setting on a wooded spur above the rushing River Okement. Begun soon after the Norman Conquest as a motte and bailey castle with a stone keep, it was converted into a sumptuous residence in the 14th century by Hugh Courtenay, Earl of Devon, much of whose work survives. After the last Courtenay owner fell foul of Henry VIII in 1538, it declined into an allegedly haunted ruin. Riverside picnic area and woodland walks nearby.
